Domino's Pizza is spending a lot of money on electric Chevrolet Bolts in order to bolster its understaffed workforce of drivers.
Domino's investment in EV marks a high profile adoption by the fast food industry.
Domino's will have the largest fleet of electric vehicles in the pizza industry, according to the CEO.
Domino's decided to provide vehicles in order to solve the problem of location owners not being able to hire new delivery drivers because they couldn't afford a car.
The key to the Chevy EV decision is their supposedly lower maintenance costs. Pie peddlers are confident that the savings on gas and maintenance will offset the cost of installing a Domino's location with a charging station.
It is a bold pivot away from using gig economy apps like DoorDash and GrubHub for delivery services, which many penny-pinching food chains have been relying on.
Domino's will be aided in meeting its carbon-dioxide commitments by the branded Chevy Bolts.
"Domino's has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve." One way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time, is by making a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2050.
Acquiring this massive fleet of EV, which are expected to start rolling out in the US this month, will serve as an interesting test on the feasibility of EV projects from similar brands, as well as a potential staging ground in a push back against gig labor.
There is a software patch that the cars don't lose power steering on potholes.
