Walmart is planning to equip thousands of Sam’s Club and Walmart locations in the United States with new quick-charging points for electric vehicles by 2030. This plan would dramatically raise the number of chargers at Walmart locations from the current 1,300 available at a minimum of 280 stores to a significantly larger number.
Walmart aims to satisfy the requirements of its consumers and members at their place of residence, as well as opening a way for drivers from different parts of the country. The easy availability of charging at busy stations can be a game changer for drivers who have always been hesitant to buy an electric vehicle because of concerns that they’ll be unable to discover chargers in clear, lighted and secure locations when needed.
According to the estimates by the White House, there are already more than 3 million electric vehicles being served by 130,000 chargers spread out throughout the nation. A charging network supported by Walmart will dramatically increase this and allay concerns about restricted charger accessibility because, according to Walmart, 10 miles or less separate 90% of Americans from a Walmart store.
According to Walmart’s mission, the organization wants to charge a lower price daily that will help ease the costs of transportation, which continue to be the most expensive household expense in many parts of the nation. More importantly, members and consumers will be comfortable buying family necessities or having a meal while they’re charging with Walmart’s chargers located at all of its superstores, markets in the neighborhoods, and Sam Clubs.
The increased penetration of Walmart’s network will also aid in increasing the domestic capacity for electric vehicle chargers throughout the United States as more drivers move toward electric vehicles.
The investment in this plan is the latest from Walmart to try and transform its business and chain of supply of goods into a more regenerative one, so that the company can help mitigate emissions and improve customer efficiency. For instance, in order to meet its goal of being emissions free by 2040, Walmart has introduced tests in all fuel and vehicle categories throughout the supply chain. And many customers in its W+ program have been receiving regular deliveries through electric cars since last year.
The different programs being undertaken are helping to change perceptions about EV ownership, just as business at Walmart is also evolving to address the changing needs of customers. Walmart is now recognized for both its daily low prices and its convenience. Making owning an electric vehicle simple and straightforward is just one example of Walmart’s commitment to offering consumers, members, employees, suppliers and society as a whole the services required and desired in a manner that fits their way of life.
As companies such as Walmart are moving to make more charging stations available, other companies such as QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) are looking to develop better batteries so that a single charge can do so much more without the need for frequent recharging coming up.
