Enhancing Hotel Guest Experience with EV Charging: Beyond Just a Parking Spot
The travel industry is undergoing a seismic shift as eco consciousness takes center stage. As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road soars (nearly 1.8 million plug-in cars registered in the UK by April 2024), hotels risk alienating guests by not offering on-site EV charging. This surge in EV adoption presents a golden opportunity - by embracing sustainability and creating a more guest-centric experience with EV charging, hotels can truly differentiate and future-proof themselves.
The Allure of EV Charging
Offering EV charging stations at your hotel or hospitality venue isn't just about providing a convenient amenity. According to an SMS report, almost a half (48 percent) of UK EV drivers would choose to not to stay at a hotel without onsite EV chargepoints. By catering to EV drivers, you're demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, a factor that resonates with a growing segment of travelers, not to mention the convenience aspect.
A Seamless Experience from Arrival to Departure
Imagine a guest arriving at your hotel after a long journey. They no longer have to worry about finding a public charging station or experiencing "range anxiety." The presence of a dedicated EV charging point at your hotel allows them to relax and recharge their vehicle effortlessly, enhancing their overall experience.
