Mcdonalds Charging Station

North Carolina McDonald’s

To emphasize its “green” attributes, a new North Carolina McDonald’s location will add an electric vehicle charging station.

The restaurant location, in Cary, N.C., which was built with an eye toward sustainability and energy efficiency, is offering drivers of electric cars the ability to charge their vehicles while they eat a meal. Its grand opening is July 14, according to a press release.

The restaurant is working with NovaCharge. The company installs ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.

The charging stations feature:

• Secure, authorized access to charging, which helps eliminate energy theft and cord theft.
• Networked ability for drivers to find and navigate to open charging stations.
• Control functions that allow utilities to optimize grid use.

As more electric vehicle charging stations come on line, more and more retailers are starting to sell the vehicles, including major names.

For instance, this summer Best Buy will begin selling an electric motorcycle, reports WSJonline.com. The Brammo Enertia can travel 45 miles at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and plugs into a standard wall outlet.

McDonalds in NC will become first location in the fast food restaurant chain to offer car recharging

The McDonald’s restaurant in Cary, NC, will become the first location in the fast food restaurant chain in more than a decade to offer electric car recharging. The deployment of a ChargePoint charging station for plug-in vehicles is part of the Cary restaurant’s efforts to go green. Ric Richards, the independent owner of the McDonald’s, is building the new restaurant with eco-friendly materials and technologies.

“Our customers will have a dedicated place to park and recharge their vehicles,” said Richards. “McDonald’s is enabling a better environment for future generations by supporting zero-emissions transportation infrastructure.” The new “green” McDonald’s in Cary will open on July 14.

A McDonald’s location in Phoenix, Ariz., installed a charging station in the late 1990s to accommodate a previous wave of electric cars. There are also plans to install plug-in car charging stations at McDonald’s locations in Sweden.

Widespread adoption of plug-in cars will partly depend on the establishment of convenient recharging locations where drivers live and work. ChargePoint and other providers are installing its first charging stations to anticipate the introduction of electric cars and plug-in hybrids—not expected in significant numbers until 2011 or later. Analysts forecast that as many as 1 million charging stations will be installed throughout the United States by 2015.

West Virgina McDonald's to feature 2 plug-in charging stations

The celebration of the grand opening of a McDonald's fast-food restaurant is not exactly worthy of recognition. With at least 12,392 McDonald's franchises operating in the U.S. alone, the opening of one additional store in Huntington, West Virginia would usually go unnoticed, especially by the green car media. Not this time. McDonald's has teamed up with American Electric Power to install two plug-in vehicle charging stations at the Huntington, WV fast-food joint.
