EV Charging Solutions for Retail Properties and Shopping Centers

EV Charging Drives Foot Traffic and Dwell Time for Retail Properties

EV drivers actively seek shopping locations where they can charge while they browse. For retail operators in Chicago, the opportunity is straightforward:

  • Longer visits  – a Level 2 charge takes 1-4 hours, which is 1-4 hours of shopping and dining

  • Higher spend per trip – customers who stay longer visit more stores and spend more

  • Competitive differentiation – in a market where e-commerce captures more spending, charging is a physical-location advantage that cannot be replicated online

But chargers only drive traffic when they work. A broken charger frustrates the customers who planned their trip around it. ATS EV Charging Solutions keeps your charging infrastructure operational.
