Recently, Walmart announced a plan to build electric vehicle chargers at each of its stores nationwide by 2030. At a time when the federal government is moving away from EV infrastructure support, the act of a large corporation like Walmart committing to the push is a dramatic change in narrative.
This move not only signals growing confidence in the EV market from a corporate perspective, but also highlights the growing role of private companies in the future of transportation. With over 4,000 Walmart locations across the U.S., the plan could close major gaps in the nation's shrinking charging gaps.
For EV drivers, this means more accessible, reliable charging options, ones that are available while running everyday errands. Imagine going to get your groceries and charging your vehicle simultaneously! As federal momentum slows, the private sector appears ready to carry the torch.
