PARIS (Reuters). Carrefour (PA:), announced Wednesday that it plans to have over 700 charging stations for electric cars and 5,000 points in its French hypermarkets, and Carrefour Market supermarkets, by 2025.

Carrefour joins a number of other retailers around the world, including Starbucks (NASDAQ:), who are betting on this extra service to win shoppers and boost their green credentials.
