Walmart Adds Roughly 78 New 400-kW EV Charging Sites

Walmart expanded its publicly posted list of upcoming 400-kW DC fast-charging locations on December 30, 2025, adding roughly 78 new "coming soon" entries across 19 states and moving the retailer's planned total of store-based fast-charging sites to close to about 100 locations. The company plans installations at both Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets, equipping stations with chargers compatible with CCS and NACS standards and enabling session monitoring and payment through the Walmart app.

New listings are concentrated in several states, with multiple entries across Texas, Utah, Arizona and Florida among others. The updated roster identifies many individual store locations as either "available" or "coming soon," and Walmart's EV landing page hosts the retailer's find-a-location list and official guidance for customers and store teams.

For store-level employees, the expansion will bring a mix of short-term disruptions and longer-term operational changes. Installation work typically requires coordination with contractors and store leadership on construction timing, parking lot staging and temporary closures of charging stalls or other lot areas. Those activities can affect store access, delivery logistics and scheduling for associates working in receiving, lot management and customer service.

Once chargers are active, associates may face new responsibilities related to customer flows, site safety and basic charger maintenance. Faster charging stations are likely to change vehicle dwell times and traffic patterns in front and side parking areas, increasing the need for clear signage, enforcement of charging etiquette and oversight of busy charging bays. Stores may also need to incorporate training or new procedures for associates on how to monitor charger status via the Walmart app, respond to customer questions about payment and sessions, and escalate equipment issues to facilities or third-party service teams.

The installation program also creates opportunities for site-support roles and cross-training, as maintenance, security and store operations staff adjust to added infrastructure. Walmart managers will be responsible for coordinating schedules with installation crews, updating safety plans for work in parking areas and ensuring associates receive any required training on customer-facing policies for EV charging.

Associates seeking specifics about planned timing, store-level impacts or the locations on the list should consult Walmart’s EV landing page and the retailer’s find-a-location tool for the most current information and official guidance. As the rollout progresses, stores will need to balance construction and activation work with continuing daily retail operations and customer service.
