Giant Food Partners with Volta to Provide Free-to-Use Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Giant Food, a leading greater Washington D.C. regional grocery chain, has begun to install electric vehicle charging stations that are free to use for EV drives at select locations cross Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. Working with Volta, the industry leader in electric vehicle charging networks, installation of 60 EV charging stations will be completed by the end of 2020, and 200 are expected to be installed by mid-2021 as part of Giant’s sustainability initiative.

All stores launched will offer two Volta charging stations featuring Volta’s signature, high-resolution, two-sided 55-inch high-definition displays. Screens will serve as a point a shopper engagement, sharing featured in-store specials and promotions for Giant loyalty shoppers.

“Providing our shoppers and communities free electric charging services is part of Giant’s larger sustainability efforts,” said Ira Kress, President of Giant Food. “We are excited to offer our customers who opt for electric cars the satisfaction of quick and free charging while they shop. It’s value for our shoppers that also benefits the environment.”
