HAMBORNER REIT AG intensifies the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure across its property portfolio

Duisburg, 29 July 2026 – HAMBORNER REIT AG is driving forward the expansion of sustainable mobility solutions within its property portfolio. Following a comprehensive tender process for the first phase of its e-mobility project, the company has decided to enter into a partnership with the European charging infrastructure provider ELECTRA.

The aim of the project is to establish demand-driven and economically viable fast-charging infrastructure at selected property locations. The first phase of development comprises 20 retail locations across various regions of Germany, where 140 fast-charging points are to be installed initially. In a further phase of development, an expansion to up to 248 charging points is planned.

“By expanding the charging infrastructure, we are making targeted investments in the future viability of our locations. Electric mobility is increasingly becoming a key infrastructure service in the retail sector. By integrating fast-charging facilities, we are enhancing the appeal of our properties to visitors, strengthening the competitiveness of our tenant sites and, at the same time, unlocking additional value-creation potential for our portfolio,” explains HAMBORNER board member Sarah Verheyen. “The project is therefore a further key element of our strategy to develop sustainable and future-oriented property locations.”

In the first phase, the planned roll-out will cover, amongst others, retail sites in Cologne, Berlin, Bonn, Mannheim, Leipzig and Aachen. This marks the first time HAMBORNER has implemented a large-scale, cross-site approach to integrating fast-charging infrastructure within its property portfolio.

ELECTRA focuses on easily accessible locations where charging can be conveniently combined with shopping or other everyday errands. Clear pricing, simple operation and a reliable charging process are designed to ensure that fast charging can be integrated into everyday life without detours or uncertainties.

“HAMBORNER REIT AG’s locations fit very well with our approach: charging should take place where people spend their time anyway. Our aim is to offer them a charging experience that is as simple, transparent and reliable as possible,” says Paul Tonini, Country Manager for Germany at ELECTRA.

With the decision to go with ELECTRA, the project is moving into the next phase of implementation. Over the coming months, the focus will be on finalising the contractual details of the partnership and preparing the first locations.
