Walmart and ABB E-mobility have announced the launch of ABB’s A400 All-in-One fast chargers at seven Walmart locations in the metropolitan Phoenix area.
The move marks the start of a planned nationwide rollout that will bring high-power EV charging to Walmart properties across the United States.
The A400 chargers deliver up to 400 kilowatts (kW) of power, capable of providing 200 kW to two vehicles simultaneously or the full 400 kW to a single vehicle. Dual CCS and NACS connectors ensure compatibility with all leading EV models.
The Phoenix metro area is expected to see nine Walmart locations equipped with a total of 38 ABB E-mobility A400 chargers in the coming months, with additional sites already underway in Colorado, Florida, and Georgia.
āAs part of Walmartās commitment to helping customers save money and live better, weāre excited to bring a retail-integrated EV charging experience to the communities we serve,ā said Adam Happel, GM Walmart EV Charging, in a statement.
Customers will also be able to initiate a charging session directly through the Walmart app, integrating EV charging into the digital shopping experience.
ABB’s ReliaGear switchboard infrastructure is designed to give Walmart the flexibility to incorporate future energy resources, including battery energy storage, with minimal downtime.
Happel continued, āWeāre building a convenient and reliable network that gives our customers the ability to charge their EVs quickly and affordably without having to change their daily shopping routine.ā
