TL;DREVgo and Brixmor will add 500+ fast chargers at shopping centres across six states, starting later this year in a Philadelphia suburb

EVgo is expanding its partnership with Brixmor Property Group to install more than 500 new DC fast charging stalls in the parking lots of shopping centres across the United States. The deal will bring EVgo’s 350 kW chargers to at least 90 Brixmor properties, covering more than a quarter of the real estate developer’s portfolio.

New locations will span six states: Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Deployment begins later this year, with the first site expected to go live at Barn Plaza, a shopping centre in the Philadelphia suburbs.

Each site will have up to 12 EVgo chargers, and each unit can share power between two connectors, allowing two vehicles to charge simultaneously. Brixmor’s shopping centres are primarily anchored by grocery stores, which makes them a natural fit for fast charging since a typical session takes roughly the same amount of time as a grocery run.

The two companies are not new partners. EVgo installed its first charger at a Brixmor property in Pleasanton, California, back in 2016, making this an expansion of a relationship that is now a decade old.
