It looks like McDonald’s is going to start cleaning up its image and install EV and Hybrid Plug-In charging stations at its restaurants. McDonald’s first charging station will be at a new restaurant that will be opening July 14 in Cary, NC.

The charging stations will be part of the ChargePoint Network. The stations can either be free, or require a subscription. The press release didn’t mention if charging would be free at McDonald’s, but it doesn’t really make sense to pay for a full charging session if you’re just stepping into have a Big Mac. (You can look up other ChargePoint station locations here.)

The new restaurant in Cary, NC is McDonald’s first “green” restaurant in North Carolina, and only their third such restaurant in the United States. The other two green restaurants are in Savannah, GA and Chicago. Aside from the new restaurant’s charging stations, it will also feature other environmentally-responsible aspects:

• Use of solatubes and LED lighting fixtures designed to use 97 percent natural light during the day
• Highly efficient, energy and water-saving restroom and kitchen fixtures
• Dedicated parking spaces for hybrid vehicles and plug-in charging stations for electric vehicles
• Table and decor walls incorporating rapidly renewable materials like sunflower seed board, wheat board, bamboo and kirei board
• Some recycled building materials
• Drought tolerant landscape plants
• Energy Efficiency Education Dashboard in dining area informing guests about the economic and environmental benefits of the building
