Walmart Inc. announced its plans to set up new charging stations for electric vehicles in its stores across the United States. The retail giant is aiming to install thousands of EV chargers by the year 2030.
Walmart said last week that it would build its own EV charging stations, and the target is to have them in its stores within the next seven years. This plan is an expansion of the company’s fast-charging network for EVs, and aside from Walmart outlets, Sam’s Club branches will also feature the chargers.
It was mentioned that currently, almost 1,300 EV stations are already in operation at the company’s 280 locations. Thus, the new chargers will further grow its charging network in the country. CNBC reported that for this project, Walmart did not disclose other information regarding this new investment.
Walmart said it is now securing suppliers for the project. Previously, it has worked with EVgo and Electrify America for its first batch of EV chargers.
Once completed, the company will operate the charging stations on its own through its national network. It expects to install at least four EV chargers in all participating stores. The company believes that the expansion will help make ownership of EVs more reliable since there will be more are chargers more chargers around the country.
“Our goal is to meet the needs of customers and members where they live and open the road to those driving across the country,” Vishal Kapadia, senior vice president, energy transformation at Walmart said in a statement. “Easy access to on-the-go charging is a game-changer for drivers who have been hesitant to purchase an EV for concerns they won’t be able to find a charger in a clean, bright, and safe location when needed.”
The SVP added that “This plan marks the latest investment in our efforts to transform our business and product supply chains to be more regenerative, in this case helping reduce emissions and increase efficiencies for customers.”
