Picture: DENISE BRADLEY ] A Norfolk branch of McDonald’s has become only the second in the country to offer electric vehicle (EV) charging. Norwich franchisee Kevin Foley has installed the EV charging point at his McDonald’s branch just off the A47 between Blofield and Brundall. Mr Foley said: “The number of electric vehicles on the road is rising fast so it’s important that McDonald’s helps support and encourage this change. “It is important for local businesses like mine to promote greener driving in their local community and help their customers reduce their effect on the environment. “As a business McDonald’s is committed to reducing harmful emissions, whether that’s by offering EV charging point or turning our cooking oil into bio-diesel to fuel delivery trucks.” Customers connect to the Pod Point using a smartphone app. The customer then uses proximity detection to activate the point and charge their vehicle via a pre-payment method. Mr Foley said: “This service will be free to use to all my Drive Thru customers.” [© edp24.co.uk] ... https://twitter.com/brundallmcds Brundall McDonalds A47 Broadland Service Area https://www.facebook.com/McdonaldsBroadlandsBrundall ... https://www.google.com/maps/search/mcdonald's+Witton,+uk/@52.6315801,1.4270371,15z (map) Witton, Norwich NR13 5AR, United Kingdom http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/81282 For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/I-ll-have-a-charge-w-cheese-please-Brundall-MickyD-s-uk-tp4680572.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
