Domino's Pizza orders 855 custom-made Chevy Bolt EVs for US pizza deliveries
Story by Jamie L. LaReau, Detroit Free Press
Domino's Pizza will have 855 custom-branded Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles on U.S. roadways delivering pizza by the end of 2023.
In Michigan, there will be 93 Bolts, 49 in metro Detroit.
The Ann Arbor-based pizza company's website said it currently has 112 Bolts on U.S. roadways; 12 of them are in Michigan. By the end of next year, when all 855 will be in service, Domino's said it will be the largest electric pizza delivery fleet in the nation and said doing so will help attract and retain delivery drivers and help the corporation achieve carbon neutrality by its 2050 target.
"One of the many reasons to have an EV fleet is indeed to attract drivers, as it is an appealing option for drivers who don’t have a car of their own," said Domino's spokeswoman Dani Bulger. "Right now, most delivery drivers across the U.S. use their own vehicles."
Domino’s already does some deliveries using electric bikes and/or scooters in 24 international markets, including the U.S. The franchisees will decide the specific stores they want to keep the EVs at and invest in a charger, Bulger said. She declined to say how much a charger will cost because it will vary, depending on the scale, installation details and charging features that the franchisee wants. But because of the Bolt's range, Domino's said in a statement, "there is potential to have days of deliveries, zero tailpipe emissions, advanced safety features and lower average maintenance costs than nonelectric vehicles — all without the financial impact of high gas prices."

Give me a white clam pizza from Pepe’s in New Haven... This weekend going to Connecticut’s Colony Grill that just opened in Midtown Tampa for a Hot Oil Pizza. Colony Grill is owned by 4 friends from the Trumbull Little League, who won the LL World Series in 1988. One of the owners is NHL hall of famer Chris Drury.
So you aren’t Joe Biden? 🤓
I was a coal miner, truck driver, top in my class...
His hoochie clothes wearing wife taught 12th grade English at my HS when I was in 12th grade.
That’s too close for me.
Weird, eh?
I think it was all of those Friday lunchtime fried clams in the
elementary school cafeteria. BLECH!!
A local clam digger was buddies with someone on the local school board in the 1970s.
And I cleaned lots and lots of mussels in kitchen of an Italian restaurant when I was 17.
I remember thinking: 'People actually EAT these gross things?' - BLECH!
