We Power Your accommodation business EV charging solution_
Advertise your EV charging facilities on booking sites and boost occupancy rates.
Despite a small number of large-scale hotel chains paving the road for electric cars with charging facilities, charging points at accommodation businesses are far from the norm. In fact, according to Zap-Map, only 6% of public charging points are linked to hotels*, highlighting the need for further infrastructure investment and the potential for an edge over competitors.
Roll out EV charging stations at your accommodation business now and reap the benefits of being early to market with sought-after facilities. Increase occupancy rates, attract a new demographic of guests and add a supplementary source of income.
Currently, a generous amount of grant aid is available to support the expansion of EV charging infrastructure in the UK, helping businesses gain a first-mover advantage. Eligible small accommodation businesses are entitled to up to £29,000 for the supply and installation of EV charging points, provided the work is completed by an approved installer.
As an Office for Zero Emission (OZEV) authorised installation company, we create, supply, install, and manage your grant-subsidised EV charging solution from start to finish. With our agnostic approach and partnerships with leading hardware and software providers, we centre our solutions around your needs and requirements, forging a bespoke solution for you.

Why should hotels and B&Bs invest in EV chargers?
Add a secondary income source
Grant employees, guests and the general public access to use your EV charging points and charge a premium per charging session.
Our links with leading back-office systems make billing and variable charging simple, streamlining a secondary revenue stream to your business.
Appeal to a new segment of guests and boost occupancy rates
Cater to the up-and-coming demographic of EV enthusiasts in addition to more sustainably centred guests, branching out and enticing new guests who may not have otherwise stayed at your accommodation business.
Enrich guest experience
Guests will no longer have to worry about when and where they will charge their EVs or search for nearby charging points. Hotel EV chargers reduce range and charge anxiety, as guests have access to reliable, convenient charging. Incorporate the charging costs into the room price or offer chargers as a chargeable amenity.
Limit EV charger usage to guests only and further visitor satisfaction by reducing the chance of queues and providing easily accessible charging infrastructure.
Drive visitor traffic
Visitor volume will likely increase at hotels and B&Bs if EV charging facilities are introduced as non-guests travel to your business to charge their electric car. Potential guests and customers may linger at your facilities in wait for their electric car to finish charging, often exploring what is on offer.
Even if they do not take advantage of the services on offer at that moment, you are increasing brand exposure and encouraging them to remember you at a later date.
