Over the last decade, the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has surged, with more and more consumers opting for eco-friendly transportation that is also, as any electric car owner can attest, a lot of fun to drive. As the number of EV owners continues to grow, businesses of all types are recognizing the importance of providing charging stations for patrons.

If you're an electric vehicle (EV) owner looking for convenient charging options during everyday activities — like going to the movies — this guide is for you. It answers common questions like:

  • “Where can I charge my EV while running errands or relaxing?”
  • “Are there EV charging stations at movie theaters?”
  • “What are the best places to charge my EV without wasting time?”
