Does Costco have electric car charging stations?
I decided to get a Costco membership for the first time. Will I be able to charge my electric car while I shop?

Unfortunately, even though it would be so convenient to charge your electric car while you’re on a
Costco
run, the availability of car chargers at the box retailer depends entirely on where you live. Some Costco locations do have electric car charging stations, but they are mostly located in
California
.Interestingly, Costco was one of the first big retailers to offer electric car charging stations before 2006. By then, Costco had installed 90 chargers in 64 stores, according to The New York Times. Most of those chargers were at California stores, but there were some in Arizona, New York, and Georgia as well.
Then in 2011, Costco said it would be removing electric car chargers due to lack of use.
It seems that today, most Costco locations across the country do not have electrical vehicle charging stations. For an accurate list of electric car charging stations near you, check out
