Why EV at Hotels: Gaining a competitive edge

Increase bookings

EV drivers plan their stays around charging availability, making you a top- choice. Some properties even report a 3% to 10% increase in occupancy rates after installing EV charging stations.

Longer Stays

While your guests’ cars are charging, they’ll be encouraged to stay on-site and generating more revenue from YOUR amenities.

It is this simple: while guests charge their cars it means they’ll be encouraged to spend more time on your site…. and hence more money spent on food & drinks, or your gift shop, spa, bar, etc.

Increase your visibility on booking platforms

Travel booking websites now filter hotels based on EV charging availability. Apps like Expedia and EV Hotels App cater to these travelers looking for a charge. And they’ll choose you, if you accommodate them and advertise yourself as so.

New Revenue Streams

Charging fees can generate you income.

Unlock a High-Profit Market Segment

There’s a significant overlap with the “environmentally conscious buyer” persona and the average EV car driver.

    Open your parking lot to non-guests & attract more transient business by installing open network stations will allow you to reach a wider audience (over 1 million+ US drivers!). This is where guests can use any EV Driver app like Gateway and PlugShare to determine if the stations are available. Drivers pull up and can start charging without membership!
