Walmart recently opened EV charging sites in West Virginia, Illinois and Utah. Walmart's pace has been quick, with the network going from just over 500 stalls to more than 1,000 in about four months. The last 250 of those came in roughly 2.5 months, after Walmart hit 750 stalls nationwide on July 24.
Walmart isn't slowing down either. The retailer could reach 200 DC fast-charging locations by spring 2027 with hundreds of additional sites already in the pipeline, as estimated by EVChargingStations.com.
