Walmart is busy building out their fast EV charger network in the US…currently 73 locations in 17 states. Their eventual goal is install chargers at “thousands of its locations by 2030”.

It has been baffling to me that more stores, especially gas stations, don't add these. You'll need to be there for at least a few minutes, and if you go into the store you are going to buy something. Why not get the customer to swipe their card twice?
Was just thinking about the drive between KC and Tulsa- currently limited options for charging- but at least a half dozen convenient to the highway Walmart locations.
also, at least at this point an EV owner is likely more affluent, so attracting them to your store probably means more dollars per card swipe.
