Insights

Retail real estate and EV infrastructure analyst

Simon and Electrify America's 500+ Hyper-Fast chargers at retail sites strengthens amenity-driven traffic and convenience for EV drivers.

The collaboration places over 500 Hyper-Fast chargers across 105 stations at Simon properties in 27 states and two Canadian provinces, offering charging speeds up to 350 kW. This pairs high-speed EV infrastructure with retail destinations so visitors can charge during shopping, dining, or entertainment visits. The mobile app and Plug & Charge support reduce friction for drivers and may improve dwell time at properties.

Key dependencies include charger reliability, station uptime, and actual driver adoption at each site; these factors determine whether charging translates into measurable foot traffic or incremental sales. The release cites 549+ million EV miles powered and an ambiguous figure of 189+ kilowatt-hours dispensed, which should be clarified for accuracy before using as a performance metric. Operational risks include maintenance costs and site utilization variability across markets.

Watch station-level utilization, uptime, and any future disclosures of energy dispensed or session counts over the next 12–24 months to assess commercial impact. A concrete near-term item to monitor is deployments at large-format sites such as the 20-charger Fashion Valley station in San Diego; its utilization will be an early indicator of demand at major retail hubs.

This initiative has powered more than 549 million EV miles since launch, across 27 states and two Canadian provinces.
