Walmart is preparing to install electric vehicle chargers in the parking lots of at least three Supercenters in Jacksonville.
The city is reviewing permit applications for the conversion of some existing parking spaces to electric vehicle parking stalls and the installation of chargers, transformers, signage and civil site work at a horizontal development project cost of $1.3 million at each location.
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the civil engineer.
Walmart Supercenters in review for EV chargers are in South and West Jacksonville.
The projects are at 11900 Atlantic Blvd. at southwest Kernan and Atlantic boulevards in the East Arlington/Sandalwood area; at 10251 Shops Lane at the south intersection of Interstate 95 and Philips Highway in The Avenues mall area; and at 6830 Normandy Blvd., east of I-295.
Walmart announced in April 2023 that it plans to build its own EV fast-charging network at thousands of its Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across the country by 2030.
Those are in addition to the almost 1,300 EV fast-charging stations Walmart said it had available at more than 280 facilities at that time.
Walmart said that with a store or club within 10 miles of about 90% of U.S. residents, “We are uniquely positioned to deliver a convenient charging option that will help make EV ownership possible whether people live in rural, suburban or urban areas.”
The ChargeDevs.com EV engineering news site reported April 30, 2025, that Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart had opened three locations – two in Texas and one in Arkansas – on a pilot basis.
Walmart.com says that the chargers now are at six locations – five in Texas and one in Arkansas. Two more are coming soon in Texas.
The site advises customers of the chargers to download the Walmart app, scan the QR code on the charging station, plug in the connector to start charging, and “you’re free to explore the store. We’ll notify you when charging is complete.”
ChargeDevs.com reported in April that new company-owned and -operated chargers will be in addition to the third-party chargers already in service.
