Domino’s Pizza Inc. said Monday it will roll out 800 General Motors Co. Chevy Bolt electric vehicles (EVs) as part of its pizza delivery fleet. The first 100 Bolt EVs will arrive at certain U.S. franchise and company stores in November and an additional 700 will arrive in the coming months. “Electric vehicles provide several advantages for Domino’s stores, including ample battery life with the potential to have days of deliveries, zero tailpipe emissions, advanced safety features and lower average maintenance costs than nonelectric vehicles — all without the financial impact of high gas prices,” Domino’s said in a statement. Domino’s stock was still inactive in premarket trading while GM shares slipped 0.3%, while futures for the S&P 500 declined 0.5%.
