Are you an EV owner shopping at an SM mall? In case you didn’t know, there are 50 SM malls nationwide that have free EV Charging Stations (EVCS). This means you can power up your EV while you shop, dine, or watch a movie.

Here are just a few of the activities you can enjoy while charging your EVs:

1. Have a hearty meal at your favorite restaurant—or try something new. SM malls have numerous food options you can grab a bite from while waiting for your EV to charge. Dine in at your favorite restaurant, or be adventurous and try something new. Either way, you’re in for a treat, and maybe you’ll find yourself driving back to eat there again next time.

Discover a wide array of dining options at the SM Aura’s Food on Four, or enjoy a Korean Topokki feast at Dookki, located at SM City North EDSA, The Annex, 3rd Level.

2. Get your steps in by walking around the mall. SM Aura Premier and SM Megamall are well-known for their vast collection of destination shops, while SM City North EDSA boasts of its Sky Garden and Cyberzone, which has all the latest gadgets and gizmos. If you happen to be at SM Mall of Asia, you can enjoy the picturesque sunset at SM by the Bay while having a cup of coffee or any early dinner. There are a lot of places to discover at SM Supermalls, but if you just want to relax, you can get a massage, a facial, or maybe get your hair and nails done while you wait.

3. Catch up on the latest movie offerings. SM Cinemas have some of the latest blockbuster hits that you can choose from, with great snacks available at the Snack Bar. If you’re going to wait for your charging EV, spend it by keeping yourself entertained.

4. Shop, shop, shop. Time flies when you’re having fun, and if your idea of fun is shopping, then SM’s got you.

SM Supermalls has a variety of options to choose from to make waiting more productive and fruitful. Next time you find that you need to charge your EV, head on to your nearest SM mall and recharge yourself while you’re at it.
