Walmart’s 400 kW EV charging network just hit 100 stores

Walmart has opened its 100th company-owned EV fast-charging site, bringing its fast-growing network to 100 stores across 20 states.

The milestone site is at the Walmart Supercenter at 16218 Jackson Creek Parkway in Monument, Colorado. It has eight charging plugs – four CCS1 and four NACS – capable of delivering up to 400 kW. However, most EVs can’t yet accept the full 400 kW.

“Reaching 100 sites is an important milestone, and our broad footprint positions us to make EV charging more accessible for communities while expanding the ways we serve our customers,” said Shayne Wahlmeier, senior vice president of Walmart Energy.

The kind of fast chargers Walmart is installing

Most Walmart charging sites have eight to 16 plugs, divided between CCS1 and NACS. The Monument station’s eight-plug setup is typical of the network’s smaller sites.
