Walmart and ABB E-mobility are putting 400-kilowatt fast chargers at Walmart stores, beginning with seven locations in the Phoenix area. (e-mobility.abb.com) (azfamily.com) ABB said the first Arizona sites are in Mesa, Tempe, Apache Junction, and Queen Creek, and that Walmart customers can start charging sessions through the Walmart app. (e-mobility.abb.com) The A400 charger can send up to 400 kilowatts to one vehicle or 200 kilowatts each to two vehicles charging at the same time. ABB also said the units include large displays built into the charger cabinets. (e-mobility.abb.com) (insideevs.com) Azfamily reported seven charging stations were added in and around Mesa on April 28, 2026, and said two more sites are planned in San Tan Valley and Phoenix. (azfamily.com) Electrek reported the Arizona locations are part of a broader Walmart-ABB launch that also includes stores in Colorado, Florida, and Georgia. (electrek.co) Walmart has been building its own fast-charging network instead of relying only on third-party operators. InsideEVs reported Walmart’s older sites used Alpitronic dispensers, while the new Arizona build adds ABB’s all-in-one hardware. (insideevs.com) The company said in 2023 that it wanted thousands of fast chargers at Walmart and Sam’s Club locations by 2030, using stores that are already near highways and open long hours. (walmart.com) (e-mobility.abb.com) This week’s Arizona rollout turns that long-range plan into visible hardware in store parking lots, with more sites already listed as coming soon.
