Target in Longview to Offer the Convenience of Plugging Up Soon

(Longview, Texas) - Shopping in East Texas bucks the trend. Proof is all the cars and trucks parked in front of East Texas businesses, in the shopping centers and/or at the malls here. Yes, we like to order online but we love to get out of the house and shop.

Quick tangent - The narrative is that malls are dying and no one likes to shop in person. That doesn't seem to exist in Texas. Our malls in East Texas are packed and the malls I've visited in other parts of Texas were packed as well.

Convenience of Shopping Longview is About to Get Better

It seems that Elon Musk's role in President Trump's administration has reduced the stigma of owning an electric vehicle in Texas. No, it hasn't made owning an electric vehicle superior to a gas vehicle but it has peeked the interest of some who looked the other way before. That means there needs to be more charging spots in East Texas.

One of the places that will be getting some spots to plug up while shopping will be Target in Longview (KETK). Construction will begin July 30 on two Tesla V4 Supercharger cabinets and 16 V4 Supercharger posts. It should all be operational by September 20, 2025.
