Domino’s Pizza Inc. is electrifying its deliveries by buying electric cars from General Motors’ Chevrolet unit. It has placed an order for 800 units of Chevy Bolt EVs, which will be deployed in the company’s stores across the United States.
Domino’s Pizza will be using these Chevy Bolts as vehicles for deliveries of orders. The units are set to be delivered to both the franchised and corporate-owned stores in its network of more than 6,000 branches in the country.
As per Fox Business, the pizza chain did not mention how much investment it had allocated for this electrification project. However, based on the standard price for the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV, the starting retail price is $26,595 before the application of purchase tax incentives.
The company is also said to be giving away two Chevy Bolts to customers through a contest that will run from Nov. 21 to Feb. 12, 2023. Customers who will order online will have a chance to win one of the EVs, as the order will earn them an entry ticket to the contest.
The car is a four-door sub-compact type, and with every charge, people can drive a range of up to 259 miles. This is said to be more than enough for Domino’s Pizza to deliver orders to customers for a day. The company has already launched an online tracker that will show how many Chevy Bolts are available in each state.
"Domino's launched pizza delivery in 1960 with a Volkswagen Beetle, rolled out the DXP – a custom-built pizza delivery vehicle – in 2015, tested autonomous pizza delivery with cars and robots, and is now leading the charge in the future of pizza delivery," Domino’s chief executive officer, Russell Weiner, said in a press release.
The CEO added, "Domino's has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We have made a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time."
