Domino’s is investing in a fleet of 800 Chevy Bolts to delivery pizzas across the US.
They’re also a way for Domino’s to expand the pool of potential delivery drivers to applicants who don’t have a car of their own, Domino’s said.
Having more delivery drivers is key to the company’s business, and a shortage of drivers caused sales to slump in 2021.
The chain even offered “tips” for customers who picked up online orders to entice them to skip delivery.
All of the EVs will be wrapped in custom Domino’s branding.
“Domino’s has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve,” Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner said in a press release.
The first 100 EV delivery cars will roll out by the end of November.
They will be making deliveries at both franchise and corporate stores across the US.
Domino’s also created an interactive map to show where the EVs are active, and where they’re planned to go.
Michigan, where Domino’s is based, has 12 electric vehicles on the road as of November 21, with 93 planned by the end of 2023.
