My local theater has 2 charging stations.
Imagine an outdoor movie theater that you could sit in the car and watch a movie while it charges.
Looks like Wal-Mart is going all in on EV charging stations (SIAP)

I would suspect the movie would be "The Longest Day" if the charging took place in California.

Right. They're not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts.eric76 said:I saw one article that indicates that it isn't unusual for the electricity prices at charging stations to be something like 3 to 10 times the regular electrical prices.aggiehawg said:How in the hell can they promise to keep energy prices low? Not the same as discounts for bulk deliveries of gasoline/diesel is it?Quote:
Walmart is still looking for energy suppliers, according to a report by Reuters. In the past, it has worked with providers EVgo and VW's Electrify America. No matter the provider, Walmart has stated that each participating store will receive four chargers and that the company will keep energy prices low, though it has not provided cost estimates.
If you can get enough traffic, that should turn a pretty nice profit for them.
I would find it amusing if places like this became more expensive than comparable gasoline costs.
Trump will fix it.
