EVgo to Add 500 New EV Fast Charging Stalls at Brixmor Shopping Centers
New locations span Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas.
EVgo announced plans to deploy more than 500 new DC fast charging stalls at 90 shopping centers owned by the Brixmor Property Group, expanding an existing partnership between the two companies.
What Happened
The charging provider, which currently operates over 1,200 DC fast charging stations across 47 states, disclosed that the project will place up to 12 high-power EVgo chargers at each of the new sites. The rollout extends into Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. When complete, roughly 25% of Brixmor's portfolio will include EVgo fast charging infrastructure. The companies' collaboration dates back to 2016, when EVgo deployed its first charger with Brixmor at a shopping center in Pleasanton, California.
Why It Matters
Shopping centers offer drivers a location to charge while completing routine errands such as grocery shopping or dining, addressing a common barrier to public charging adoption. The density of these locations—up to 12 stalls per site—could reduce wait times during peak periods compared to standalone highway chargers. For Brixmor, adding EV infrastructure aligns with what the company described as growing consumer demand and its goal of keeping properties competitive as EV ownership rises.
The Bottom Line
EVgo's expansion through the Brixmor partnership adds more than 500 stalls at a single property group, bringing high-power charging to everyday destinations across six states. The deal reflects ongoing investment in public fast-charging networks outside highway corridors.
