A total of 55 electric car-charging stations have been installed across Sweden in McDonald's Drive-Thru locations.
The iconic fast food chain has attentively conducted a survey to determine the demand for charing outposts, finding that 48% of electric car drivers find it "difficult to find charging stations." As a result, the QSR is addressing this and is steadily implementing opportunities to juice up one's vehicle and motivate a fossil-free future.
To draw attention to the availability of electric car-charging stations in its parking lots, McDonald's has upgraded its iconic signpost. Above the price details for a Big Mac and a Happy Meal — two beloved McDonald's classics, the fast food restaurant installs signage for its charging stations. The first of these have been successfully implemented in Mjölby and Munkedal locations.
