Tanger Outlets is partnering with Volta Inc., an electric vehicle charging provider, to install Volta charging stations at Tanger locations in nine U.S. markets, according to a press release.

"At Tanger, we are laser-focused on creating long-term value for our customers and retail partners while building strong, vibrant communities and a cleaner, healthier future for us all," Leslie Swanson, Tanger Outlets COO, said in the release. "Our partnership with Volta will provide our customers with a high-value service as they shop while helping our retail partners attract new, loyal shoppers who are in search of a convenient charge. It will also allow our media partners to capitalize on Volta's unique, eye-catching and sustainable ad platform, further elevating how customers view, shop and connect with Tanger's brands."

The effort will provide shoppers with access to a mix of DC fast and L2 charging stations.

"Our intelligent charging network converts deep behavioral insights into dollars while bringing convenient, reliable charging to places where people already spend time," Scott Mercer, founder and CEO of Volta, said in the release. "Reducing carbon emissions while putting drivers and customers first is core to both of our companies' missions, which is why our collaboration with Tanger is a natural fit."

Volta's network of 55-inch dual digital screen charging stations provides an advertising and communications platform that allows brands to reach shoppers seconds before they enter a store to make a purchase.

Tanger will leverage this media functionality nationally, regionally and locally as part of its forward-thinking, omnichannel marketing partnerships strategy.

Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. owns a portfolio of 36 centers with operating properties located in 20 states and in Canada, totaling approximately 13.6 million square feet, leased to over 2,700 stores operated by more than 600 different brand name companies.
