The way people travel is changing – and so are their expectations. Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer the future; they’re part of today’s everyday journey. If you manage a hotel, leisure venue or visitor attraction, installing EV charge points isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic move that can help you attract more customers, retain loyal guests, and future-proof your business.
At EVC Solutions, we’ve seen the impact firsthand. Our recent installations at Ibis Hotels in Derby and Leicester have not only improved the guest experience but opened up new revenue streams for the hotels too. Here’s why investing in EV charging infrastructure makes sound business sense – and how we can help you see what’s possible.
Today’s travellers are looking for more than just a comfortable bed. They want sustainable options that fit their lifestyle – and EV charging is high on the list. According to Zapmap, there are now over 1.3 million EVs on UK roads and growing fast. For many guests, access to charging is a deciding factor when choosing where to stay.
Providing EV charge points shows that you understand your customers' needs and that you’re committed to a greener future.
EV drivers often prioritise hotels and leisure venues that offer charging facilities. In fact, offering EV charging can make the difference between winning or losing a booking.
By installing charge points, you’re not just attracting EV-driving guests. You’re encouraging longer stays, more repeat visits, and stronger word-of-mouth recommendations.
At Ibis Hotels, the addition of 22kW KEBA charge points with load balancing has created a real competitive advantage – and it’s helping them welcome a growing wave of eco-conscious travellers.
Charging guests to use your EV facilities can generate an additional income stream. Whether you offer complimentary charging as a value-add, or a paid service to boost your revenue, EV chargers can quickly pay for themselves.
Hotels like Ibis are already seeing the benefits of blending a great guest experience with smart business sense – offering a service that customers are willing to pay for, while building brand loyalty at the same time.
It’s not just your guests who benefit. Installing EV chargers for staff can help with recruitment, retention and corporate responsibility goals.
If you host conferences, weddings or events, offering EV charging also appeals to businesses and organisations who need to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. It's an easy win when you want to stand out in a crowded market.
Offering EV charge points supports your sustainability goals and shows you are serious about reducing your carbon footprint. It’s a practical step towards Net Zero targets, improving your green credentials and helping you meet environmental expectations from both customers and regulatory bodies.
EVC Solutions specialises in helping hotels and leisure venues integrate EV charging in a smart, future-ready way. Our load-balancing technology means you maximise your existing power capacity without overloading your supply – making it easy and cost-effective to install multiple chargers on your site.
