⚡9 Walmart EV Charging stations in ONE day! In Part 2 of this Tampa Bay whistle-stop tour, we visit Walmart’s brand-new DC fast charging network across New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, Oldsmar, Clearwater, Largo, and Pinellas Park, Florida — including Walmart’s milestone 50th EV charging site in Clearwater and the first Neighborhood Market charging location!
