Sonic Corp. recently installed two electric vehicle charging stations at the Sonic Drive-In location off West Bandera Road in Boerne. The charging stations are the first and only public ones in Boerne where they have already been listed by electric vehicle infrastructure company Chargepoint and the federal government's Alternative Fuels Data Center. Sonic Vice President of Facilities Wayne Brayton told the Business Journal that the charging stations were installed at company-owned locations in Boerne and Westminster, Colorado as part of a pilot program to see how well they are received by the chain's customers. "It seemed like a custom fit for us, so we're excited to see what happens for us over the next few months," Brayton said. Brayton said Sonic vendor Sun Country Highway conducted market research to determine that both locations would be a good fit. The electric vehicle equipment company installed the charging stations for $6,000 per location. Three months into the six-month pilot program, the Colorado location is seeing higher usage rates. "We'll continue to look at ways to get the word out and let our customers know that it's available for them," Brayton said. "We're just trying to provide a convenience for them and we'll see what happens down the road." The charging stations are free for customers but Brayton said the company is considering a promotion to give electric vehicle drivers a perk for using them. Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles reveals that there were at least 567 electric vehicles registered in Bexar County in 2015 while a recent Business Journal survey reveals that some 70 business in San Antonio have installed charging stations. Alternative Fuels Data Center records show that there are currently 13,876 electric vehicle charging stations across the United States. McDonald's leads all fast food chains with 46 electric vehicle charging stations nationwide followed by Starbucks with four, Sonic with two, Burger King with one and Whataburger with one.
