Here’s Why Installing an Electric Car Charger Could Be a Great Idea

What’s the 2023 version of a 60-inch screen showing the local college game? It may well be an electric car charger. The offer of a free charge gets people in the doors for an hour or so while they wait. Among our recent America’s Coolest Stores to have installed chargers are Carter’s Jewel Chest in Mountain Home, AR, and Julz by Alan Rodriguez in Canton, OH, both of which were the first in their communities to do so. “Regular visitors spend up to an hour charging their vehicle and coming into the store, even just to say hi,” says Chris Carter of Carter’s Jewel Chest. “The EV charger also sends the positive marketing message that our business is eco-conscious and committed to our values.”
