An electrifying guest experience: It’s yet another reason to choose Target. Our stores host one of the largest retail charging footprints in the U.S.,* with more than 300 sites across 42 states. While guests charge up they can make a Target run, too, and discover new products, pick up essentials make the most of their visit. Guests frequently call out EV charging in their feedback as an added convenience that enhances their shopping experience.
We’re always looking for new and different opportunities to make the Target experience better for guests. As more consumers consider an electric vehicle (EV), we’re adding charging availability at select stores across our national footprint, with 35 more sites currently under construction and another 100-plus sites in development. It’s one more example of how we’re integrating sustainable practices throughout our operations while meeting evolving guest needs.
