Why Walmart parking lots are perfect for electric vehicle chargers
Most Americans make at least one trip to Walmart per year In a move that could make it easier for tens of millions of Americans to own and operate electric cars, Walmart is filling in some major gaps in electric charging infrastructure that will add over 300 new charging stations by the end of the year, mostly in the South and Midwest.
As announced last week, Walmart is doubling down on the number of EV charging stations in its parking lots as part of Electrify America?s $2 billion initiative funded by Volkswagen?s ?dieselgate? emissions-cheating settlement that?s being used to increase electric vehicle adoption.
In addition to the over 120 sites already installed at Walmarts, at least 180 more locations will be added before the end of the year, with every installation site equipped with regular 150 kW stations as well as ultra-fast 350 kW stations that can charge vehicles at a rate of 20 miles per minute. The installations are being strategically rolled out to form new EV charging networks. Since Walmarts are located near highways, drivers of electric vehicles can now exclusively use Walmart?s charging infrastructure along several well-traveled corridors, like Houston to Chicago and San Antonio to St. Louis.
This is good news for owners of electric vehicles who want to embark on cross-country road trips this summer?but it?s also good news for people outside of cities who are interested in buying an electric vehicle.
Right now, most electric charging infrastructure...
