Walmart is planning to add thousands of electric vehicle-charging stations at its stores by the end of the decade even as EV adoption faces multiple challenges like the high cost of acquisition.
“By 2030, we intend to build our own EV fast-charging network at thousands of Walmart and Sam’s Club locations coast to coast,” Walmart said in a news release on April 6. “This would be in addition to the almost 1,300 EV fast-charging stations we already have available at more than 280 U.S. facilities. With a store or club located within 10 miles of approximately 90 percent of Americans, we are uniquely positioned to deliver a convenient charging option.”
