Hospitality
Hospitality is a sector which is always rapidly changing. As a result, those who own businesses in the hospitality sector need to be constantly aware of emerging technological trends. With electric vehicles becoming increasingly more common, hospitality businesses must begin to account for the charging requirements of their potential customers. Fortunately, this does not need to be a big investment. Businesses can provide a simple, cost effective charging solution to their customers and employees.
Hotels
The hotel industry is competitive, as guests often seek innovations and the latest amenities when choosing which hotel to stay in. Following in the footsteps of WIFI, electronic vehicle charging stations will soon become the norm for all modern hotels, as more and more customers will check for the availability of charging stations. We install simple, innovative charging stations which can be enabled using RFID cards or potentially existing room key cards.
Increase Hotels Visibility
Booking websites such as booking.com, Hotels.com and Kayak.com have recently added an “Electric Vehicle Charging” filter as they’ve seen a huge increase in search trends.
Additionally, having EV Charging at your hotel puts it on new maps with a very engaging community of electric vehicle drivers. Such as Zapmap, Plugshare & Chargehotels.com
At the end of 2019 less than 10% of hotels online offered car charging facilities. There is scope to get ahead in this industry.
Attract a new target market
The EV drivers of today still fall under the early adapters category and will for the next few years.
These drivers are considered the “Conscious Consumer” who will choose a green and eco-friendly product/service over a non eco-friendly one.
Make sure you don’t miss out on this highly engaged audience.
Electric Vehicle drivers are considered as
“High Value Guests”
It’s reported that EV drivers income is 2x the national average.
Attracting more affluent guests has a knock on effect to other services your hotel provides. Including restaurants, spas, bars, activities and room service.
Monetize your EV charging service
You have the option to set tariffs on a per hour or per kWh basis.
Although most hotels would provide free charging for guests. you could potentially charge consumption for visitors.
If you display your charge points on one of the maps, you may get people in to charge their car, in the meantime they may pop in to your restaurant for a coffee or some lunch while they wait on their car to charge.
