🔌 Walmart EV Charging's General Manager Reveals EVERYTHING — Credit Card Terminals, Connector Swap, Going BIGGER Than You Think

I met with Adam Happel, General Manager of Walmart EV Charging, for a candid, all-access interview at Walmart's corporate demo event in Springdale, Arkansas and he did not hold back.

In this video, Adam confirms major announcements and drops details that driver feedback has prompted some major changes to the network and operations:
✅ Credit card terminals are coming to ALL Walmart EV chargers NATIONWIDE, not just compliance states!
✅ Walmart Plus discounts have gone nationwide this week!
✅ NACS & CCS connectors are being swapped on all new installs + a field campaign for existing sites
✅ Curbside delivery pilot is live! You can order groceries and get them delivered to your car while you charge
✅ The network hit 50 stations as of filming and Adam says they're going bigger than anyone realizes yet

We also dig into:

-How Adam went from SolarCity → Tesla → Rivian → EVgo → Walmart and why Walmart was the obvious move.
-Why Walmart chose Alpitronic Hypercharger and ABB as their two hardware vendors
-How store managers and on-the-ground data influence where chargers get built — and how YOU can influence your local store
-The honest admission: things they've gotten wrong and how customer feedback is driving fixes
-What a Walmart parking lot looks like in 2030 — retail integration, smart pricing, and a charging experience unlike any other network
-How time-of-use pricing is already pushing costs into the 20-cent range at select locations
-Walmart's path to potentially doing in 5 years what Tesla took 13 years to build
