Electrify America, the Volkswagen subsidiary that formed in the wake of Dieselgate, plans to install more than 2,000 chargers across the US by the end of 2019. In a sign that the project will bring EV charging to the masses, one-thousand of the charging stations will be installed at Walmart locations. The first of those Walmart-based stations was put in place this week in Tennessee—with plans for future stations in 36 states across the country.

Most of today’s EV drivers access fast-charging stations by joining a network that issues a membership card.

Users simply insert or swipe a credit or debit card to initiate and complete a charging event. It’s similar to how drivers of gas-powered vehicles use a traditional pump.
