Electric vehicle infrastructure news has been booming in the last few weeks and months. Last week, Choice Hotels announced they would be rolling out EV charging at most of their properties following similar announcements by Marriott and Hilton back in September, in December Pilot / Flying J and General Motors Partnership opened their first 17 High-Speed Charging Locations, and IONNA, a charging network founded by seven auto manufacturers, commenced operations earlier this month. In a recent press release about store remodels, Walmart announced they would be building a charging network of their own, beginning with 650 stores slated for remodeling in 2024 and another 150 new stores due to be built this year. Walmart's goal is to introduce coast-to-coast charging at thousands of locations across the US over the next five years. As of April 2023, Walmart has 1,300 fast charging stations at 280 Walmart and Sam's Club locations nationwide. While the hardware vendor has not been announced, Walmart will own and manage its charging infrastructure, with customers paying for charging sessions through the Walmart app. In July 2022, Walmart announced that it was purchasing 4,500 Canoo Electric Delivery Vans for its stores.- 2 comments

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com In looking at my other love , BIG RIGS, I came across this video online and found more info from Walmart about their new WAVE Semi. http://blog.walmart.com/the-future-of-fleet-efficiency Walmart has teamed up with Peterbilt, Great Dane Trailers and Capstone Turbine to create a modern 21st century Semi. The new Carbon Fiber truck is 20% more aerodynamic than a standard semi and with 6000 trucks on the road daily, this alone reduces fuel use by a large factor. The great thing about the Turbine motor is that it can run on Diesel, LNG, CNG or Bio-Diesel. The all in one vehicle system combines the outside aerodynamics with the advanced control system, microturbine-hybrid powertrain and electrification. The benefits in testing of this truck is the ability to ship 40% more merchandise over a conventional trailer, reduce cost by 24% and emissions by 14% according to the details released by Walmart. Benefits of the WAVE Truck: Center sitting like an F1 race car driver Customizable LCD screens to monitor what the driver feels is important Large weight savings, 4000lbs lighter in just the trailer alone with the all carbon fiber trailer Turbine Green Fuel Hybrid powertrain Convex trailer nose adds merchandise storage space in trailer while reducing air drag Comfortable modern size sleeper Sliding drivers doors
