- EVgo plans to add more than 400 fast-charging stalls at Regency shopping centers across the U.S.
- The partnership began in 2020, and EVgo already operates more than 150 stalls at Regency properties.
- New sites will feature up to 24 chargers, giving more drivers a chance to charge while buying groceries.
Public charging is a much more pleasant experience when you have something useful to do while the car is plugged in. Buying groceries beats waiting around and watching the battery percentage creep upward, especially if it means avoiding a separate trip just to charge. That’s why more retailers are adding fast charging for customers to top up their EVs while checking items off their shopping lists.
EVgo is expanding its footprint through its existing partnership with shopping center owner Regency. The companies plan to add more than 400 fast-charging stalls at Regency properties across the United States, focusing on centers with grocery stores.
These won’t be the first EVgo chargers in Regency parking lots. The operator installed its first chargers at a Regency location in 2020 and already runs more than 150 stalls across its properties. However, the announcement signals a substantial expansion of that arrangement.

The new sites will feature up to 24 high-power chargers each. Planned markets include Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia, with other states that weren’t specifically named also in the mix. Neither company provided a completion deadline or a full list of locations, though.
It also follows another EVgo shopping center expansion. In August, it announced that it was adding at least 500 additional stalls through its partnership with Brixmor Property Group. That rollout is intended to bring EVgo charging to at least 90 Brixmor shopping centers.
In another deal, Kroger and EVgo announced plans to install at least 150 fast-charging stalls annually through 2035, covering supermarket brands including Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter and Smith’s. The Regency is clearly part of that broader push to make charging part of the weekly routine.

The latest announcement doesn’t specify charging rates or power ratings. Its recently confirmed rollout at Brixmor shopping centers and Kroger lists 350-kilowatt chargers, so that may be the peak output of the chargers installed at Regency locations.
Putting chargers near groceries is certainly sensible, but the experience still needs to be painless for them to be popular. As InsideEVs’ Suvrat Kothari discovered during a recent visit to a Walmart charging station, app problems turned plans for a shopping stop into 40 minutes of troubleshooting without adding any charge.
