Starbucks Corp., in partnership with Volvo Cars, has announced the first Starbucks store offering electric vehicle chargers powered by ChargePoint Holdings Inc. in in Provo, Utah, according to a press release.

Additional charging stations will be positioned along a 1,350-mile route that winds through national forests and major community hubs from the Colorado Rockies to the Starbucks Support Center in Seattle.

By the end of the year, up to 60 DC fast chargers will be installed at up to 15 Starbucks stores approximately every 100 miles along the route.

While drivers of any EV equipped with a standard CCS1 or CHAdeMO receptacle will be able to use these stations for a fee, drivers of Volvo Cars will get the added benefit of having access to these stations at no charge or at preferential rates.

Drivers of Volvo Recharge models with Google embedded can use the ChargePoint app integrated into their vehicle's in-dash system, while others can use the mobile ChargePoint app, to find, use and pay for access to the ChargePoint charging stations at participating Starbucks locations.

The full list of communities with planned EV charger-enabled Starbucks store locations along the route currently includes Seattle, Wash., Issaquah, Wash., Yakima, Wash., Hermiston, Ore., La Grande, Ore., Nampa, Idaho, Twin Falls, Idaho, Unitah, Utah, Sandy, Utah, Provo, Utah, Grand Junction, Colo., Glenwood Springs, Colo., Silverthorne, Colo., Idaho Springs, Colo. and Broomfield, Colo.
