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.
Cinemark provides EV charging stations at a growing number of locations, offering convenience and peace of mind for drivers. Next time you pull up ChargePoint or simply search for "charging stations near me," you may well find that your next movie night can also give your car some juice!
A Seamless Integration
Every electric vehicle owner knows that planning a charge or even a top-off at a charging station is a key aspect of weekly planning. Even if you've got a fast charger at home, knowing that you can add a few miles to your current range while watching a movie — when your car would just be sitting inactive anyway — is a great bonus.
A Clearly Convenient Advantage
Sometimes charging during a short shopping jaunt can seem pointless, but with at least two hours to plug in to an EV charging station, having the option at a movie theater is a huge value addition.
There's also the potential parking advantage. Depending on which market you're in, EV adoption may still be at a level where you can bank on chargers being available at nearly any time. So in addition to getting the battery range boost while you watch a movie, you know you'll get a good parking spot on arrival — and you can use one of many widely-available EV charging station map apps, such as ChargePoint, to check the charger availability before you head out.
A Commitment to Sustainability
At Cinemark, we're committed to our efforts to develop sustainable business practices. Our EV charging stations are part of that push. We have worked hard to reduce our carbon footprint through the implementation of energy-efficient measures and waste-reduction programs. We use energy-efficient lighting and climate control in our theaters, have increased our use of solar energy and in-theater recycling stations.
Our EV charging stations are part of that push to move forward with sustainable and energy-efficient approaches to community building as we provide entertainment for your entire family.
So next time you're planning a movie outing, remember that you can plug in while you relax with a state of the art movie experience!
