    The local McDonald’s shares a parking lot with a fresh-Mex, a bakery-diner, and a Vietnamese vegan restaurants. Obviously, if they install an EV charger, I’ll park there and walk 100 feet to enjoy a vegetarian meal!

    How do they think to combine FAST food with SLOW battery charging?
    Is this all McD marketing people can produce? We shouldn’t pay more attention to it than it deserves. With these 3 comments it has had enough

    Ha…wondered why the old McDonald’s was being closed. I live just across the Ohio River from Huntington, WV and this is really a big deal! Sadly the EV charging station has to be at McD’s in a city where half the population is obese. Seriously, I live here and it seems like 90% of the population is obese. Still it’s a big step for a city/area that is so backwards in the green initiative. This really surprises me that McD’s would do this since there are very few electric cars in the area. Hopefully this leads to more electric cars on the road here in the Huntington area. This is a HUGE step for the tri-state (WV-OH-KY) area!

    It is not surprising that McDonald’s is willing to make the tradeoff to give Americans free electricity in exchange for getting you parked at their fast-food-dispensing location for at least 20 minutes. Brilliant frankly. The equation is: how much more profit will they make in sales of their ‘food’ vs the cost of the electricity? And that cost of energy will be miniscule in comparison to the amount of free advertising McDonald’s will receive simply for installing these. These are the lumps we in the green movement will take in order to reduce our exposer to harmful chemicals!
