EV Charging for Hospitality

The hospitality industry is rapidly evolving to meet the growing demands and expectations of potential clientele. With the increasing shift towards electric vehicles, commercial EV charging stations are becoming an essential amenity for hotels and restaurants aiming to offer the best facilities. We believe that offering EV charging at your hospitality business not only enhances guest satisfaction but also positions your establishment as a leader in sustainability.

With the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), offering hotel EV charging has quickly transitioned from a luxury to a necessity for many clients. Guests now often want the convenience of charging their EVs while they dine or rest, and hotels and restaurants that provide this service can significantly differentiate themselves from competitors.

Recent data shows a sharp rise in electric vehicle adoption, driven by increased environmental awareness and government incentives. As a result, the demand for EV charging stations at hotels and restaurants is soaring. In fact, we have found that people have started to actively search “hotel EV charging” on Google. This reflects the importance of this amenity in 2024 and beyond.  To cater to these potential guests we believe that offering reliable EV charging stations for hotels and restaurants ensures that visitors can enjoy their stay without worrying about finding a place to charge their vehicles. Convenience and practicality are heavy leavers when potential guests are choosing their hotel and restaurant of choice.

Providing EV charging stations in the hospitality sector has many benefits:

Guest Satisfaction 
When guests know that they can conveniently charge their electric cars while staying at your hotel or dining in at your restaurant, it enhances their overall experience, leading to positive reviews and repeat visits. Parking has always been a conscious thought when visiting somewhere, now with the increased number of electric vehicles so is the access to EV chargers.

Revenue Opportunities:
Partnering with charging networks or implementing fee-based charging allows you to generate additional revenue from non-guests who use your charging stations. Of course this is optional and dependent on your facilities.

Sustainability Ethos & Branding:
Promoting your hotel’s EV charging stations helps strengthen your brand’s commitment to sustainability, attracting corporate clients and tourists alike. It’s always been important to have strong brand ethos and continue to innovate, staying ahead of the curve and meeting your ideal clientele needs.

Managing multiple charging stations might seem daunting, especially for larger hotels. Luckily, ElectrAssure’s Charge Point Management System (CPMS) simplifies this process by providing real-time monitoring, user authentication, and billing features. Hoteliers can monitor the usage of each charging station, diagnose issues remotely, and implement load balancing to avoid overloading the electrical system.

Integrating EV Charging Stations with Room Booking Systems

Continuing innovation, our solutions can further enhance your guests experience. By integrating ElectrAssure’s EV charging stations with your room booking system ensures that guests can easily reserve a charging spot along with their room. This integration allows you to offer bundled packages, such as a room stay with complimentary EV charging, enhancing guest convenience and satisfaction.

If however, you decide your hotel will charge for this feature, your guests can seamlessly be billed as part of their stay.

Great experiences, convenience and stress free stays are what everyone looks for when choosing a hotel or restaurant. If you can offer solutions for your guests and clients and meet their requirements, this leads to more booking and repeat visits.

Client expectations and demands are always changing and hospitality businesses who are  constantly evolving will most likely be the most successful.
