As electrical vehicles become more common, we are seeing more companies install EV chargers for their customers and employees. One industry that is seeing a rise in demand for EV chargers is the hotel industry. Customers are starting to expect EV chargers at hotels they visit, so they can charge their cars overnight. In this blog, we’ll discuss why hotels should consider investing in EV chargers and how to get started with the installation process.
Why Hotels Should Offer EV Charging Stations
As EV chargers become more popular, especially with the government looking to ban the production of diesel and petrol cars by 2035, there couldn’t be a better time to install an EV charger for your hotel. Many travellers or holidaymakers will filter and only look for a hotel that provides EV chargers. This could give your hotel a unique selling point and the edge over competitors nearby who don’t offer EV chargers. By providing EV chargers, your hotel is likely to see increased bookings and customer loyalty due to increased customer satisfaction. This will help your business to grow. Additionally, EV chargers show a customer that your hotel cares about the environment and sustainability, which is becoming a very important factor for many customers when picking accommodation.
EV charging stations are not only a benefit for guests but also a revenue-generating opportunity for hotels. You can choose to charge for the use of your stations, creating an additional income stream, or offer free charging as an added value to attract more bookings.
Types of Commercial EV Chargers for Hotels
Commercial EV chargers are designed to charge multiple vehicles at the same time, making them the perfect choice for hotels. The two main EV chargers to consider for your hotel are:
- Level 2 Chargers: These chargers provide a full charge over several hours, making them perfect for overnight stays. They offer convenience for guests who can plug in their vehicle and have it fully charged by morning.
- Rapid DC Chargers: These chargers can replenish an EV battery up to 80% in just 30 minutes, which is ideal for guests stopping for shorter periods. While they can be more expensive, rapid chargers are an extra offering that can set your hotel apart.
