With EV Charging Subsidies Stalled, Real Estate Is Stepping Up

Greetings,

A major transformation is reshaping logistics as warehouses turn into high-tech hubs powered by automation, robotics, and AI. These next-generation facilities are streamlining supply chains and driving productivity across industries. Despite macroeconomic pressures, industrial REITs like Prologis and Link Logistics are thriving by developing real estate that functions more like smart infrastructure than traditional warehouses. They are no longer just property owners but key players in a new era of commerce.

Prologis, through its ventures arm, is actively investing in robotics startups, autonomous vehicles, and automation tools that can be easily deployed by tenants. This is not passive investment. It is targeted capital designed to support a more agile and efficient supply chain. As automation, artificial intelligence, and industrial real estate come together, a new class of infrastructure is emerging that offers long-term value for both operators and investors.

This week we are focusing on parking technology, namely, how buildings are providing EV charging stations to tenants. For buildings that don’t have dedicated parking lots or owners who don’t want to deal with policing a EV only spot, there is a new solution that will install a charging station onto the street next to the building. By partnering with landlords companies are finding ways to provide EV charging even as federal funding for a national charging network dries up.

Let’s go!
