EVgo, one of the biggest names in the American EV charging business, is expanding its partnership with Brixmor Property Group to install over 500 new fast chargers at shopping centers across the US. The company already has over 5,158 individual DC fast-charging ports open for business in the United States.
The charging operator is planning to install at least 500 new stalls in places where hundreds of millions of Americans already visit each year: shopping centers. Once complete, the two companies said that at least 90 Brixmor shopping centers, or over 25% of the developer’s portfolio, will feature EVgo fast chargers.

The new locations where EVgo will start installing its stalls include Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Deployment will begin later this year, with the first site expected to go online in Barn Plaza, a Philadelphia suburb.
Each new site will have up to 12 EVgo chargers, and each charger can deliver power to two EVs at once. By installing fast chargers at shopping centers, the two companies are making it easier for EV owners who don’t have a home charger to go about their days a little more easily. Brixmore claims its locations welcome over 900 million consumer visits every year, so there’s a lot of traffic and a huge growth potential.
“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. “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.”
