Ionna Is Teaming Up With Circle K To Boost Its EV Charging Network

• Retail giants and gas station chains have embraced the build-out of fast chargers.

Walmart’s DC Fast Charging Network Already Has Hundreds Of Ports

• Walmart is kicking its EV fast charging network into high gear.
• The retail giant has increased the number of DC fast charging stations at its stores across the U.S. by 50% in two months.
• The company currently has over 100 individual stalls, with thousands more in the works.

To use Walmart’s EV chargers, drivers need to use the store’s smartphone app. Pricing differs from one location to another, but the average price is $0.48/kilowatt-hour. The stalls don’t have card readers, so using the smartphone app is the only way to get a top-up.
