On September 9, 2026, EVgo and Regency Centers announced an expanded national partnership to bring more than 400 new DC fast-charging stalls to Regency’s grocery-anchored shopping centers. The deal builds on more than 150 stalls already operating at Regency sites.
Deal Highlights
- More than 400 new DC fast-charging stalls are planned.
- Sites will host up to 24 chargers each.
- States named include Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia, among others.
- The expansion is expected to grow Regency’s EV charging footprint by more than 20%.
- EVgo operates more than 1,200 fast-charging stations in 47 states. No timeline was given for the rollout.
Why Retail Sites Matter
Grocery-anchored shopping centers fit fast charging well: drivers already stop there regularly and stay for 20 to 45 minutes, long enough for a meaningful DC charge. For landlords, charging adds a reason to visit and can extend dwell time.
What It Means for Buyers
For commercial property owners outside the big operators’ plans, the deal is a benchmark: shoppers increasingly expect charging where they shop. Smaller centres, hotels and offices can start with Level 2 or 22 kW AC chargers and add DC later. See our commercial EV charging and retail charging solutions.
