Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging (HPC) has partnered with Federal Realty Investment Trust to become the preferred EV charging provider across Federal Realty’s premier retail portfolio. This strategic collaboration aims to install over 500 ultra-fast charging stalls nationwide, enhancing the EV charging experience for all drivers, regardless of vehicle brand. The partnership combines Mercedes-Benz’s expertise in premium mobility with Federal Realty’s high-performing retail destinations, setting a new standard for scalable EV infrastructure.
Key Highlights
- Strategic Partnership: Mercedes-Benz HPC named Federal Realty’s preferred EV charging provider.
- Nationwide Rollout: Over 500 ultra-fast charging stalls planned across Federal Realty’s portfolio.
- Initial Locations: First chargers to be installed in 2026 at 20 sites, including Phoenix, AZ, and Pembroke Pines, FL.
- High-Speed Charging: Features up to 400 kW charging speeds, compatible with CCS-1 and NACS vehicles.
- Customer-Centric Approach: Chargers placed at trusted retail destinations for seamless integration into daily life.
The rollout begins with 20 key locations, such as Camelback Colonnade in Phoenix, AZ, and Shops at Pembroke Gardens in Pembroke Pines, FL. Each site will offer up to 10 charging stalls with 400 kW charging speeds, ensuring compatibility with both CCS-1 and NACS-equipped vehicles. The first chargers are expected to be operational in 2026, delivering a cohesive and reliable charging experience.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to quality and innovation. Federal Realty’s portfolio of vibrant, open-air shopping centers, like Santana Row and Pike & Rose, provides ideal locations for EV chargers, aligning with drivers’ preferences for convenient, lifestyle-integrated charging. As Andrew Cornelia, President & CEO of Mercedes-Benz HPC North America, noted, “Charging isn’t just about power—it’s about place.” This partnership ensures chargers are strategically placed where people shop and socialize.
Unlike traditional EV charging installations, this portfolio-driven model allows rapid scaling while maintaining consistency. Mercedes-Benz HPC, already operating over 400 stalls across 14 states, plans to expand to 2,500 stalls by 2027 with a $1 billion investment. Federal Realty, with its 57-year dividend growth record, enhances its retail properties with this forward-looking amenity, reinforcing its position as a leader in high-quality retail environments.
