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

No, I have seen one in a larger city I know they are real. What I mean is this is a Publicity stunt. It is there to show Domino's cares about the environment (besides the Lithun-ion battery stuff). But most of us won't get pizza delivered to us by way of EV's with Domino's wrapped on it.

Anyone that has done pizza delivery knows you use your own vehicle to deliver the pizza's. I wonder if the owners of the franchise locations that will have these EV's have to pay for upkeep on them, or if Domino's covers that.

Anyone that has a functioning brain knows that, I'm not sure what that has to do with this obviously different situation than what is typical.

That said, the local Jimmy John's has a "corporate car" that they use in addition to the drivers cars.

"Corporate car" like Jimmy John's pays for that vehicle or the franchisee pays to use it?

I think it belongs to the franchise owner. It's not like, branded or anything, aside from the logo magnets.

I know in our area JJ's Franchisee has a hummer H2 with vinal warped JJ's freaking fast stuff on it. I have always wondered if that was on the Franchisee or corporate to maintain it.

Domino's does a lot to support their Franchisee's to assure their success. I wonder if the EV's will go to higher visibility locations or if it goes off the Franchisee paying for it.
