Walmart to Build Nationwide EV Fast-Charging Network

Walmart plans to build a nationwide electric vehicle charging network at thousands of its stores, including Sam’s Club locations, by 2030. The company aims to make EV ownership more accessible, reliable, convenient, and affordable. Walmart believes it is uniquely positioned to build out a convenient charging solution for EV owners, with its stores and wholesale warehouses located within 10 miles of approximately 90% of Americans. The company also plans to make its own logistics emissions-free by 2040 and has incorporated EVs into its Walmart Plus shopping deliveries. The Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act is providing incentives for groups building out public-use charging stations to make them more accessible, abundant, and reliable.
