As a result, Domino\u2019s saw quicker delivery times and higher team member satisfaction. <\/p>\n<p>The company expanded the program after proving to be a hit with delivery drivers and customers. <\/p>\n<p>However, Domino\u2019s is now taking its zero-emission ambitions to a new level. Domino\u2019s says over 100 custom-branded 2023 Chevy Bolt EVs will roll out in the US this month, with plans to add an additional 700 over the next few months. <\/p>\n<p>The company known for perfecting pizza delivery is now one of the first to implement EVs at scale. Domino\u2019s launched pizza delivery in 1960 using a VW Beatle. In 2015, the company tested self-driving delivery and is now taking significant steps to reduce emissions, cut costs, and drive employee satisfaction. <\/p>\n<p>CEO Russel Weiner, says:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" readability=\"10\">\n<p>Domino\u2019s has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We\u2019ve made a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/dominos-to-roll-out-nationwide-fleet-of-800-chevy-bolt-electric-vehicles-301683247.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">several advantages<\/a> over their gas-powered counterparts, electric vehicles are quickly becoming more desirable for home delivery. For example, EVs have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce maintenance costs <\/li>\n<li>Zero tailpipe emissions<\/li>\n<li>Advanced safety features <\/li>\n<li>Extended battery life <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps, more importantly, Domino\u2019s will help reduce its reliance on volatile gas prices that cut into profit margins. On top of this, EV fleets provide the opportunity to attract drivers who don\u2019t own a car of their own.<\/p>\n<p>Ed Peper, VP of GM Fleet, explains the benefits of the partnership, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\" readability=\"11\">\n<p>We\u2019re excited that Domino\u2019s has chosen the Chevrolet Bolt EV to build their electric pizza delivery fleet in the U.S. Both companies are committed to bettering our environment. GM plans to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new U.S. light duty vehicles by 2035. With an affordable price, fun driving characteristics, and a 259-mile range, the Chevy Bolt EV is the future of Domino\u2019s electrified deliveries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Interested in joining Domino\u2019s with their EV rollout?

Others will likely catch on as the company transitions toward zero-emission pizza delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Domino\u2019s is a first mover in the pizza market and is now implementing the largest pizza EV delivery fleet.
