The EV charging stations will be deployed across Federal Realty’s portfolio of 18.6 million square feet of high quality retail assets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and California.

Car Charging Group CEO Michael Farkas said because of its prime locations across the nation, Federal Realty’s unique retail and mixed use destinations serve as popular gathering places within the communities, making them perfect locations to top off your EV battery while you shop or dine.

During the first phase of the program, EV charging stations will be installed at Santana Row in San Jose, California; Bethesda Row in Bethesda, Maryland; Congressional Plaza and Rockville Town Square in Rockville Maryland; Pentagon Row and The Village at Shirlington in Arlington, Virginia.

At these locations, the company will deploy Level II, 240V, EV charging stations, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, the EV charging solutions company.

Car Charging Group sales director Brian Golomb said these are also high-profile properties, which will bring even further awareness to the importance of EVs in the evolving US transportation system.
