Walmart is preparing to install electric vehicle chargers at a fourth Supercenter in Jacksonville after three have been identified.
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.
Walmart Supercenters in review for EV chargers are in South and West Jacksonville and now in North Jacksonville.
The latest is at 13227 City Square Drive in River City Marketplace in North Jacksonville.
The first three in Jacksonville permit review 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.
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the civil engineer.
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 eight locations – six in Texas, one in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas. Four are coming soon in Arizona and eight more are coming to 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.
