Chipotle's Sustainable Restaurant Design Goes All-Electric with Solar Panels and EV Chargers.

Chipotle has unveiled an all-electric restaurant design that is completely powered by renewable energy, such as solar and wind, with gas grills being replaced by electric systems. The new design includes rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle charging stations, and biodegradable flatware and bowls. The chain aims to have 100 new locations operating entirely on electricity next year. Chipotle is also increasing the amount of produce bought locally to cut down on fuel used during the transportation process and is developing more vegan and vegetarian menu items.
