As long as they don't charge idle fees right away... these things can charge so fast you would have to leave mid shopping. When we stop on road trips it's usually just enough time to get out, stretch, take a piss, eat some fast food and go.
Unless you're shopping for 2+ hours idk if most people will need to worry about idle fees on level 2 chargers
They're installing fast chargers, not level 2
Walmart plans to build a proper charging network, own and operate chargers, and offer access through its own Walmart app.
Tom Moloughney visited one of the first sites in McKinney, Texas, where Walmart deployed 400-kW Alpitronic HYC400 chargers. According to the video, the other charger supplier will be ABB.
