EVgo and Brixmor Property Group have announced an expansion of their long-standing partnership, adding more than 500 new fast charging stalls across Brixmor shopping centers in the United States.
Once complete, at least 90 Brixmor locations — more than 25% of the company’s portfolio — will feature EVgo fast chargers.
New locations will span Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas, with deployment beginning later this year. The first site under the expanded partnership is expected at Barn Plaza, a Philadelphia suburb.
Each new Brixmor site will feature up to 12 high-power chargers, making them well-suited for grocery-anchored shopping centers that draw frequent repeat visits.
“Drivers across the U.S. want infrastructure options that integrate seamlessly into their routines, and shopping centers are an ideal place to get groceries, grab a bite or shop while charging,” said Scott Levitan, Executive Vice President, Growth at EVgo, in a statement.
The two companies first partnered in 2016 when EVgo deployed its first charger at a Brixmor shopping center in Pleasanton, California.
EVgo currently operates more than 1,200 fast charging stations across 47 states.
Levitan continued, “Expanding our partnership with Brixmor will help make EV charging even more accessible for drivers across the country while supporting the growing demand for public charging in everyday, convenient locations.”
