From EV Pulse.
It’s more than 1,300 miles from Denver to Seattle, and we’re attempting to make this trip in a pair of Volvo EVs (the updated 2024 C40 and XC40 RWD models). Why? Because we’re stress testing the brand new Starbucks-Volvo electric vehicle charging network installed in the Great American West. Joined by Newsweek’s own Eileen Falkenberg-Hull, we’re venturing out into this seriously underserved region of the country to find out if the ChargePoint-powered charging stations have what it takes to make an EV roadtrip stress-free.
