Simon Property Group announced that its partnership with Electrify America now includes more than 500 Hyper‑Fast electric‑vehicle chargers across 105 Simon properties nationwide, adding a 20‑charger station at Fashion Valley in San Diego. The expansion brings the total number of chargers to 500+ and has already supplied over 549 million EV miles since the partnership began in 2018.
The milestone underscores the rapid adoption of high‑speed charging infrastructure in retail settings. Hyper‑Fast chargers deliver 350‑kW power, topping a vehicle’s battery in roughly 20 minutes, and the 500‑plus network now spans a broad geographic footprint, positioning Simon as a convenient destination for EV drivers who can shop, dine, and recharge in a single visit.
Strategically, the expansion supports Simon’s broader goal of transforming malls into experiential destinations. By offering a high‑value amenity that extends dwell time, the company expects to lift tenant sales and attract new tenants that prioritize sustainability. The move also aligns with Simon’s long‑standing commitment to environmental stewardship, reinforcing its ESG credentials and appealing to investors focused on green infrastructure.
The partnership’s growth is part of Electrify America’s broader 30% network expansion plan for 2025, which aims to exceed 6,200 chargers nationwide. Simon’s 500‑plus chargers represent a key component of that plan and demonstrate the company’s ability to scale infrastructure investments quickly while maintaining operational efficiency.
Daniel Segal, Vice President of Business Development at Simon, said, “We strive to offer high‑value amenities that elevate the shopping experience. Working with Electrify America allows us to provide visitors the convenience of Hyper‑Fast EV charging in locations where they can shop, dine, and recharge all in one visit.” The expansion follows Simon’s Q3 2025 earnings, where the company highlighted strong portfolio performance and a resilient balance sheet.
The expansion is expected to increase foot traffic, boost tenant revenue, and enhance Simon’s appeal to investors seeking exposure to the growing EV infrastructure market, while reinforcing its competitive moat in premium retail and mixed‑use development.
