Walmart plans to build a coast-to-coast network of electric vehicle fast-charging stations. The first chargers have already been installed.
Walmart announced an upcoming expansion and modernization of its facilities in the United States, with sustainability in mind. It means more energy-efficient equipment and lighting, lower-impact refrigerants and EV charging points. During the next 12 months, the company intends to remodel 650 stores across 47 states and Puerto Rico. Separately, over the next five years, Walmart is planning to build or convert more than 150 stores in the U.S.
Walmart explains that the plan is to build a coast-to-coast network of electric vehicle fast-charging stations: 'We’re also working on developing a coast-to-coast network of affordable electric vehicle fast-charging stations we hope will make EV ownership a more convenient and accessible choice for Walmart shoppers and associates.' The company revealed its general intention in early 2023, pointing out at the time that it has almost 1,300 charging points at 280 locations.
