Reply to comment by RampantRooster in Domino’s Pizza will soon have 800 electric vehicles for delivery drivers by redingerforcongress

Depends how the franchise does reimbursement the per mile rate for us makes it worth using my own car.

Unfortunately the last time Domino's did a car things they had no plans for maintenance or accountability so the cars just got run into the ground and left to rot after a year

Nice thing about Electric cars is that they need A LOT less maintenance. Big issue I see is that no way they go a whole day without a charge. With a highspeed charger if they can recharge it 20-30 miles in 5 minutes it will probably be fine.

The store I worked for had a stupid large area, and even on the worst days, I don't think I ever put more than 80 miles on during an 8 hour shift. Get some cars with ~200 mile range, plug em in overnight and when a driver clocks out, and you're good.

I've been driving for a year now and in 8 hours I think ~150 was the most I've done in my area, but it's still a rare day to do 100+

It's doubtful they would be hitting the max range during peak business hours. And then charge in the the down time before and after. Seems like it could be a good idea.

City stores you're hustling if you even do 100 mi in a 10hr shift

Rural stores you can do 20-30 round trips

Bolt EVs are not very fast at charging. According to them it's up to 95 miles in 30 minutes, but I believe they will manage since any idle time the car gets at the store it would be charging assuming they setup chargers near or at their stores.

Could someone buy those electric cars I bet they'd be easier to maintain than normal car.

This. How much are they going to charge drivers for the dubious privilege of not using their own car?

Prolly take half their tips, and pocket the delivery fee they used to split with the driver.

Legally they cannot take half their tips unless they make at least minimum wage....it is likely though delivery pay will be removed, and based on tips only
