McDonald's Store in West Virginia gets EV Charging Station


Even though we can�t picture your average EV owner as being an avid fan of McDonalds, nevertheless, future Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt owners living in Huntington, West Virginia, will have a very good reason to visit the food chain's new store located near the corner of 1st Street and 5th Avenue, as it�s the first restaurant of its kind in the U.S. to have a Level 2 Electric Car Charging Station.

�I wanted to offer this capability to show our customers that this new technology is here when they are ready to take advantage of it,� said Tom Wolf, local owner/operator.

The EV-friendly drive-in replaces the McDonald�s formerly located at 70 Washington Avenue in Huntington, which was the first one of its kind in West Virginia.

�I think it�s very fitting that the first location in West Virginia is making McDonald�s history again, being the first in the U.S. to offer the Level 2 charging stations,� Mr. Wolf concluded.
