EVgo and Regency are supercharging the mall

EVgo keeps plugging away

EVgo isn’t just chasing highway fast-charging stops anymore. It’s expanding its partnership with Regency Centers to bring EV chargers to shopping centers across the U.S., with plans to add more than 400 stalls at Regency properties.

Why this matters

That’s the kind of move that sounds small until you remember how EV adoption works in real life: people don’t just charge on dramatic road trips like some EV-commercial hero. They also top up while grabbing coffee, running errands, or wandering a retail center pretending they only came for one thing.

For EVgo, this deal helps spread its network into high-traffic retail locations, which could mean better utilization and more visibility for its charging business. For Regency, it adds another amenity that can make its shopping centers more attractive in a world where parking lots are increasingly becoming mini energy hubs.

The big picture

This is still a partnership announcement, not a revenue moonshot. But in the EV infrastructure game, access to prime real estate is half the battle. Big picture: EVgo is trying to make charging feel less like a detour and more like part of your normal Tuesday.
