Colorado Walmart Becomes Company's 100th Store to Add EV Fast Charging
The Monument, Colorado Supercenter reached the milestone with chargers delivering up to 400 kW.
Walmart has opened its 100th company-owned EV fast charging site at a Supercenter in Monument, Colorado, marking a milestone for the retailer's expanding network.
What Happened
The Walmart Supercenter in Monument, Colorado became the company's 100th EV fast charging location. Most sites feature 8 to 16 DC fast charging stalls equipped with both CCS and NACS connectors delivering up to 400 kW of power. Charging is integrated into the Walmart app, with Walmart+ members receiving discounted rates. The company says its network is designed around customer convenience, with stalls located steps from store entrances.
Why It Matters
The milestone demonstrates how major retailers are leveraging existing real estate to expand EV charging infrastructure. For drivers, having fast chargers at locations they already visit for errands reduces the need for dedicated charging trips. Walmart's scale and geographic footprint could make charging more accessible in areas where options remain limited, while integrated app billing and membership discounts add convenience for a segment of EV owners.
The Bottom Line
Walmart has reached 100 company-operated EV fast charging sites with plans to continue expanding its network. The chargers support both CCS and NACS connectors at up to 400 kW, and the company is targeting customers who already shop at its stores as part of its strategy.
