Mercedes-Benz HPC Named Federal Realty’s Preferred EV Charging Provider

Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging (HPC) and Federal Realty Investment Trust have signed an agreement naming Mercedes-Benz the preferred EV charging provider across Federal Realty’s retail portfolio.

The collaboration establishes a scalable foundation to deliver an expected 500 new, ultra-fast charging stalls. The initial rollout will begin with 20 locations across Federal’s national portfolio. Each location will feature up to 10 charging stalls and Mercedes-Benz HPC 400 kW charging speeds, compatible with both CCS-1 and NACS equipped vehicles. The first locations are expected to come online in 2026.

“This collaboration adds a forward-looking amenity to some of the country’s most consistently successful retail properties, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing the strength of our portfolio,” said Don Wood, President & CEO at Federal Realty Investment Trust.

Mercedes-Benz HPC currently operates over 400 charging stalls across 14 states, with over 2,000 stalls in development. The company has invested $1 billion to install 2,500 charging stalls by 2027.
