If your Domino's Pizza isn't being delivered in an all-electric vehicle yet - it could be soon. That's because the company says it's going to expand its EV delivery fleet. It's currently at 800 electric vehicles. Domino's says it's going to bring the fleet to more than 1,100 custom-branded 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EVs by the end of the year. They'll be in use at select franchises and corporate stores.
"Back in November 2022, Domino's announced that we'd have 800 EVs on the road by the end of 2023 and we're excited to say that we've officially reached that number," said Joe Jordan, Domino's president of U.S. and global services. "All 800 vehicles are on the road, delivering at various stores across the country. We are even more thrilled to announce that number is growing. Our stores and franchisees have continued to express their enthusiasm and interest around EVs, and they've ordered an additional 300-plus cars to be on the road by the end of the year."
Domino's says all-electric delivery vehicles provide some advantages for its stores. The company cites ample battery life with the potential to have days of deliveries, no tailpipe emissions, advanced safety features and lower average maintenance costs than nonelectric vehicles.
"We're continuing to see a wide range of advantages from using EVs," said Jordan. "In addition to business and environmental benefits, an electric delivery fleet also helps with hiring drivers, as they open up a whole new pool of job candidates who may not have their own vehicles."
Domino's is currently partnering with Enterprise Fleet Management, which offers local hands-on account management, vehicle acquisition, financing, telematics solutions and maintenance for the electric delivery fleet.
