Domino’s Pizza will use more than 800 Chevy Bolt EVs for deliveries by 2023.
If you want to test drive an electric vehicle for the first time, get a job at Domino’s Pizza. That’s because giant fast-food company Pizza announced it will add nearly 800 Chevy Bolt electric vehicles to its delivery fleet by 2023.
Domino’s Pizza is no stranger to trying crazy ideas to get customers hot, crispy, and greasy pizza as quickly as possible. From those “DXP” delivery vehicles with a built-in heating oven to even trial e-bike delivery riders at select locations.
This is what CEO Russell Weiner had to say:
“Domino’s has always been at the forefront of pizza delivery, and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We have committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin to reduce our environmental impact, one delivery at a time.”
Domino’s is stepping things up even further by betting on electric cars. The company expects to make the Chevy Bolt EV faster, more efficient and more affordable to use, while reducing emissions and carbon footprint.
As of today, the company is currently using more than 100 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles at select locations across the country. However, within the next few months, it will rapidly expand the delivery fleet with more than 700 more. The goal is to employ many Domino’s Pizza drivers to deliver fresh food in more than 800 electric cars.
So if you’ve always wanted to try an EV, one of the easiest ways might be to deliver food at Domino’s Pizza. The company mentioned that switching to electric vehicles could reduce its carbon footprint and save money on maintenance and gas. Hopefully that means fewer price hikes on Pizza in the future.
Good thing Chevrolet and GM took notice of their Chevy Bolt’s fire recall. Otherwise, you might end up with an extra crispy slice of cake.
You can expect to see commercials for Domino’s electric vehicles in the coming weeks and months. Plus, if you want to drive your own but would rather not be a delivery guy, the Pizza company is even giving away a Chevy Bolt EV to one lucky customer.
Once the EV delivery rollout is complete in 2023, it will be the largest EV delivery fleet in the pizza business.
