We aim to keep our store in step with the times, and now the time has come to provide charging for electric cars, together with our partners from Eldrive Romania. We will offer free parking for the first 2 hours, until December 31, 2023", said Mihai Corlea, Director of Leasing at Unirea Shopping Center.
