Driving electric vehicle adoption

Over 500 New EVgo Charging Stalls to Be Added at Brixmor Shopping Centers Across the U.S.

On August 3, 2026, EVgo Inc., one of the nation’s largest public fast charging networks, announced an expansion of its partnership with Brixmor Property Group that will add more than 500 new DC fast charging stalls across the United States. When the rollout is complete, at least 90 Brixmor shopping centers, representing more than 25% of the company’s portfolio, will feature EVgo fast chargers, significantly expanding a partnership that began nearly a decade ago.

The new charging stations will be installed at shopping centers in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Construction is scheduled to begin later this year, with the first location expected at Barn Plaza in the Philadelphia suburbs.

Each new site will include up to 12 high-power EVgo fast chargers, making them well suited for grocery-anchored shopping centers where Americans typically visit two to three times each week. By placing charging stations at popular retail destinations, EV drivers can conveniently recharge while shopping, turning charging time into productive time.

The expansion also benefits retailers. Public fast charging stations help attract EV drivers to shopping centers, increasing customer visits, time spent on-site, and spending at nearby businesses. As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow, charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly valuable amenity for both property owners and retailers.

EVgo and Brixmor first partnered in 2016 with the installation of a fast charger at a shopping center in Pleasanton, California. The latest expansion builds on that successful collaboration and reflects the growing demand for convenient, reliable charging at everyday destinations where drivers already shop, dine, and run errands.

EVinfo.net’s Take: Shopping Centers Are Only One of a Myriad of Locations Where EV Charging Infrastructure Is Being Installed

Shopping centers are just one option for places to install EV charging. As electric vehicle adoption keeps growing fast, charging stations are appearing in places where people naturally spend their time.

Apartment complexes and condominiums are adding chargers so residents without home garages can conveniently charge overnight. Employers are installing workplace charging to give employees another convenient charging option during the workday. Hotels are expanding charging access for travelers, while restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters, sports venues, and tourist attractions are using chargers to attract new customers.

Public charging is also expanding at hospitals, universities, libraries, parks, municipal parking lots, airports, and government buildings. Along highways, charging stations are being installed at convenience stores, truck stops, travel centers, and existing gas stations, making long-distance EV travel easier than ever.

Commercial fleets are driving other waves of charging deployment. School districts, transit agencies, delivery companies, ports, warehouses, and logistics centers are installing charging infrastructure to support electric buses, delivery vans, and heavy-duty trucks.

Camber is a trusted leader in EV fleet charging with over 1,500 DC fast charger deployments and over a decade of proven experience. From infrastructure design and installation, to 24/7 proactive maintenance and intelligent charge management, Camber delivers dependable end-to-end charging solutions for fleets.

Robotaxi fleets are also growing the EV charging industry. One example is Zoox, which just received permission to begin paid rides in the U.S. Zoox vehicles recharge at centralized company depots using overhead-suspended charging cables.

Shopping centers are an important part of this growing network, but they represent just one piece of a much larger transformation. In the U.S. and worldwide, EV charging is becoming a standard amenity across communities.
