Walmart has reached a major milestone in U.S. EV charging, opening its 100th company-owned and operated electric vehicle fast-charging site. The expansion brings Walmart’s network to 100 EV fast-charging locations across 20 states and adds more high-power charging options for drivers across the United States.
Walmart announced the milestone on August 21, 2026, when it opened a site at its Supercenter in Monument, Colorado. The company says its charging strategy is focused on placing fast chargers where customers already shop, making charging more convenient during everyday trips.
Walmart EV Charging Network Reaches 100 Sites
Walmart’s company-owned EV charging network now spans 100 fast-charging sites in 20 states. Most locations feature between 8 and 16 charging stalls, according to Walmart, with chargers capable of delivering up to 400 kW.
The network supports both CCS and NACS (SAE J3400) connectors. That combination is important for U.S. EV drivers because charging compatibility is becoming increasingly important as automakers and charging networks transition toward NACS.
Why 400 kW EV Charging Matters
High-power DC fast charging can reduce the amount of time drivers need to spend at public charging stations, but the actual charging speed depends on the vehicle, battery temperature, state of charge and the vehicle’s maximum charging capability.
The broader charging market is also moving toward higher-power equipment. The International Energy Agency classifies chargers above 150 kW as ultra-fast and reports that next-generation charging systems are increasingly exceeding 250 kW.
For U.S. drivers, the practical benefit is not simply a higher peak number. A larger network of reliable fast chargers can make road trips easier and give EV owners more options when home charging is unavailable.
Walmart’s CCS and NACS Charging Strategy
Walmart says its fast-charging sites are designed to serve a broad range of EVs through CCS and NACS connectors. Charging sessions can be started and paid for through the Walmart app, while Walmart+ members receive discounted charging rates.
The company also says it will continue expanding in markets where additional convenient and dependable fast charging is needed, working with utilities and partners to bring more sites online.
What This Means for the U.S. EV Market
More retail-based charging is significant because EV drivers can combine charging with shopping and other routine activities. Walmart’s network adds to the wider U.S. push toward more accessible public charging infrastructure.

What Comes Next?
Walmart says the 100-site milestone is part of a continuing expansion rather than the end of its charging rollout. The retailer plans to keep adding charging locations where customers need more access to fast, dependable EV charging.
As charging networks expand and higher-power equipment becomes more common, drivers will increasingly evaluate charging locations by more than peak kW. Reliability, connector availability, location, pricing and the ability to charge while completing another activity will all matter.
