Hundreds of DC fast charging stalls will make Walmart one of the biggest charging infrastructure hosts in the country.
Some of the stations are to be 350 kW chargers, but most of the metro locations will get 50 kW to 150 kW chargers and an additional AC L2 for plug-in hybrids and BEVs without DC charging inlet.
“The announcement is expected to make Walmart one of the leading electric vehicle charging station hosts in the U.S. retail sector. Through Electrify America’s focus on both future and present-day electric vehicles, Walmart customers will be able to access ultra-fast charging systems with the latest charging technology available.”

Walmart is the perfect partner for Electrify America to bring electric charging services to EV owners who value their time.”
Mark Vanderhelm, Vice President of Energy for Walmart, Inc. said:
