Walmart Is Rolling Out 400 kW DC Fast Chargers With Huge Screens
"Walmart is now deploying ABB E-mobility's A400 all-in-one 400-kilowatt DC fast charger at several stores in the Phoenix metropolitan area. This type of dispenser can deliver up to 400 kW to a single connected EV, and dynamically manage the power output to each EV if two cars are charging at the same time."
"Walmart will install ABB's all-in-one chargers at nine locations in the coming months, with a total of 38 stalls scheduled to become operational. The company uses 400 kW chargers exclusively."
"The first dispensers came from Alpitronic, and they're also all-in-one solutions with two charging cables. From a technical point of view, the two systems are similar, with a maximum current output of 600 amps and Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors for an efficiency of roughly 97%."
"Both stalls can be fitted with card readers for contactless payments, but the dispensers installed in Walmart and Sam's Club store parking lots don't have card readers. Instead, EV drivers will need to use Walmart's smartphone app to initiate charging sessions and pay."
Walmart is implementing ABB's all-in-one 400 kW DC fast chargers at various locations in the Phoenix metropolitan area. These chargers can deliver up to 400 kW to a single EV and manage power output for two vehicles simultaneously. The dispensers feature dual CCS and NACS connectors for compatibility with most EVs. Walmart plans to install 38 charging stalls at nine locations, with a broader goal of thousands of chargers by 2030. The chargers will be operated via Walmart's smartphone app for payment and session initiation.
