Dallas-based CBRE and California-based EV+, a provider of on-site, electric vehicle charging infrastructure solutions, have reached a preferred partner agreement to deploy electric vehicle charging systems at 10,000 U.S. commercial properties over the next five years.
“Of primary concern to EV drivers these days is convenient access to reliable charging stations at locations where they spend time—and this partnership is focused on filling that need,” Jim Hurless, global head of real estate for CBRE EV Solutions, said in a statement. “Expanding the charging network with EV+ in this manner will help to spur more EV adoption as well as provide property owners with a coveted amenity to serve their customers.”
The companies said they’re focused on “EV-enabling” real estate where drivers most need charging stations—multifamily complexes, hotels, and healthcare-related facilities, all of which “have been critically underserved to date.” Turnkey EV+ charging stations will be installed ready to operate, with no ongoing responsibilities for property owners, the companies said.

Simplifying EV charging for property owners
CBRE said that EV+ offers property owners end-to-end charging infrastructure solutions, complete with an integrated hardware, software, and networking system designed for durability and ease of use. EV+ aims to simplify EV charging for property owners, helping them to achieve sustainability goals and offering an increasingly important service amenity for minimal effort.
Global commercial real estate services company CBRE said it will provide EV+ with site acquisition, grant and incentives work, project management, installation, and ongoing operation and maintenance of the charging stations.
“Partnering with CBRE enables us to significantly expand our reach and impact in essential real estate markets,” EV+ CEO Joe Schottland said in a statement. “Our goal is to establish electric vehicle charging capacity where it is most required and desired—properties where drivers spend considerable time, such as apartments, hotels and healthcare facilities. This alignment with CBRE enhances our ability to deliver convenient, efficient, durable EV charging solutions on a national scale.”
