Starbucks, on its path to environmental betterment, is chipping in to expand access to electric vehicle chargers.

In partnership with Mercedes, the chain is set to install high-power EV chargers at stores along Interstate 5, a thoroughfare that runs from Washington to California. Chargers will be placed in “core urban areas and charging deserts,” says Starbucks. Eventually, the brand expects to expand the effort, targeting areas including the East Coast.

“EV charging is one of Starbucks’ key strategies supporting our environmental promise to give more to the planet than we take,” says a release. “In the U.S. today, Starbucks customers can enjoy their favorite beverage while charging at more than 1,000 licensed and company-operated stores that have nearby access to nearby EV charging.”

Last week, the chain also shared details of an upcoming reusable cup test in Petaluma, Calif., which will include Starbucks, among other brands.
