While you are sipping on a McCafe Latte you can charge your electric vehicle. McDonald’s is opening the first “green” restaurant in Cary, North Carolina on July 14th. The restaurant is made of eco-friendly building materials and will include ChargePoint Network Charging Stations for electric vehicles.
According to NovaCharge these ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations will provide:
• A secure, safe, reliable way for consumers to charge their electric vehicles anywhere they work and play.
• The ability for EV drivers to find, and navigate to, available open stations.
• Secure, authorized access charging, while eliminating energy theft and cord theft.
• An infrastructure that enables rapid growth of the market for plug-in electric vehicles of all types.
• Administrative monitoring and control services to allow utilities to optimize grid use.
“McDonald’s is an industry leader in environmental conservation and they are continually launching new initiatives to create a sustainable world” said Helda Rodriguez, president of NovaCharge. “We are pleased to be able to partner with them to deliver the ChargePoint Network system, and to provide safe, convenient, grid-friendly, charging stations for
electric vehicles.”
