Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA] and CBL & Associates Properties Inc. have struck a deal to put Tesla’s fast-charging technology at five malls across the U.S.
Five Supercharger points stations will appear at CBL-owned malls at Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers, FL; The Pavilion at Port Orange in Port Orange, FL; Alamance Crossing in Burlington, NC; CherryVale Mall in Rockford, IL and Imperial Valley in El Centro, CA.
The mall-sited chargers are the latest step in Tesla’s efforts to build an electric corridoor across the U.S, allowing Model S owners–and owners of Tesla’s future electric vehicles–to embark upon long trips coast-to-coast with little interruption.
While many of the Supercharger stations will be located on highways, the mall locations mean Tesla owners can partake in some retail therapy while their cars charge.
Even a brief 20-minute stop will be enough to deliver half a charge, and while it isn’t clear how many chargers will be located at each point, there should be enough for a few owners to charge their cars simultaneously.
Tesla Motors recently unveiled its full expansion plans for the Supercharger network.
