According to Electrek, on September 29th, 2020, Canadian Walmart has placed an order for 130 Tesla Semi trucks, which may exceed a total order value of $20 million.
Prior to this, Walmart had announced its goal of achieving zero emissions by 2040 in early September. On July 20th, 2020, it announced an investment of $3.5 billion in business growth to provide customers with a simpler, faster, and more convenient online and in-store shopping experience.
Walmart stated that the main reason for choosing Tesla Semi is its ability to travel around 500 miles (804.7 kilometers), meeting the need for “one-charge round trip” transportation.
