Movie Theaters
Now that things are opening back up after the Covid-19 pandemic, it is not enough that movie theaters offer the top blockbusters and the hottest stars. You need more than the best concession stand offerings. Your customers want more, and as a movie theater owner you need to offer your customers more.
They want the latest releases like Top Gun Maverick, stars like Tom Cruise, and comfortable seats with surround sound. They want a safe place to park their vehicles and walk into the theater.
Today, more and more people are driving EVs. As a movie theater owner have you thought about offering EV Charging Stations to your customers? There are several reasons you should consider this option.
Reasons to install off the grid EV charging stations
There are reasons to install EV charging stations at your movie theater. Some of which are:
- Attract more customers
- Reduces greenhouse gases from fossil fuels
- Customer satisfaction
- A second stream of income from advertising local and national merchants, public announcements, and more
- Sets you apart from other movie theaters
- Most movies last about two hours so your charger will be free every two hours for the next customer
- Raises your property value
- Tax breaks and rebates available
- Reduces electricity bills when using alternative green fuels to charge
All these reasons and more are why you should consider installing EV charging stations in your movie theater parking lot.
You might think that this will be expensive, especially the electricity to charge EVs. However, there are tax breaks and rebates you can take advantage of to install EV charging stations.
As far as electricity for charging, you do not need that either. The newer EV charging stations from Modern Thermal Design are powered by alternative green fuels. Fuels like the following:
- Solar
- Hydrogen
- Natural gas
- Biogas
- Biofuel
These green fuels are cheaper than electric but still fuel EV Charging Stations.
A second stream of income can be made from advertising local and national merchants such as grocery stores, restaurants, and more. You can also advertise upcoming sales and other events. These spots can earn you money. That money can be spent on upgrades to the theater, new movies, and other improvements.
