Takeaways:

> Walmart has opened four high-speed charging stations in Bentonville, Arkansas, and is building its own network of chargers at its stores.

> As of June, Walmart has opened about 46 high-speed public charging stations with 380 cords, and there are now EV chargers at about 326 of its US stores.

> Walmart's charging plans are expected to make public electrons cheaper and easier to find, and could spur EV adoption in places where gas has been resilient, with the company's broad footprint positioning it to make EV charging more accessible for communities.

> Analysts are split on where the US EV market goes from here, but the installed base is sizable. There are now 7.6 million plug-in vehicles on US roads, according to S&P Global, and an estimated 90% of Americans live less than 10 miles from a Walmart.
