MILFORD, Conn. – Subway, the global restaurant brand, has teamed up with GenZ EV Solutions to launch a new electric vehicle (EV) charging initiative, aimed at creating a more seamless experience for EV drivers. The Subway Oasis charging parks will feature canopies with multiple charging ports, picnic tables, Wi-Fi, restrooms, green space, and playgrounds. The new charging solution will be trialed at select locations, with smaller-format, fast EV charging stations piloted at newly remodeled and new restaurants across the US, beginning in 2023.
GenZ EV Solutions will work alongside RED E Charging, a fast-growing EV charging network, to provide proprietary software, operating expertise, and network uptime and reliability for the EV charging stations and Subway Oasis. The Subway Oasis initiative will offer additional convenience to on-the-go guests and generate incremental revenue for franchisees. The charging parks will also offer dedicated Subway promotions, exclusively available to those using the EV charging stations.
The company aims to offer a quick, reliable charge to EV motorists and contribute to a national network of charging stations, as the number of EV drivers continues to increase. With its extensive network of restaurants across the country, Subway is ideally positioned to offer this service, while at the same time contributing to a sustainable solution to market. By making charging infrastructure more accessible, Subway is hoping to democratize EV charging infrastructure for millions of Americans.
Mike Kappitt, Chief Operating and Insights Officer of Subway, said, “Our partnership with GenZ EV Solutions is a win for our guests, our franchisees and our planet, creating a dedicated space for drivers to charge their vehicle while enjoying their favorite Subway sandwich.”
Jose Valls, CEO of GenZ EV Solutions, commented, “Equitable access to charging is essential to the adoption of EVs in the future and Subway’s scale will play an important role in democratizing charging infrastructure for millions of Americans.”
As Subway and GenZ EV Solutions continue to make key strides in building the EV infrastructure of tomorrow, both initiatives aim to offer additional convenience for guests while creating a more sustainable future.
