Every business wants to maximise customer satisfaction. We’ve put together a list of the benefits that EV charger installation can bring your hotel.
This blog will help you understand;

- Why hotels should consider installing EV chargers
Continuous improvement of your hotel’s standards and overall customer satisfaction is a key concern when managing a hotel or other hospitality-based business. Not only this, but identifying new opportunities to maximise revenue is vital for growth.
We’ve created this blog to help you to understand the power of EV charger installation on your hotel’s premises, and talk you through the various benefits of doing so.
SO, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EV CHARGERS FOR HOTEL MANAGERS?
1. NEW POOL OF CLIENTELE
A growing number of professionals are making the switch towards EV use, and this number is only going to increase over the coming years. By installing EV chargers at your hotel, these professionals will view your business as a viable option for them to stay. This new pool of clientele, EV drivers, will visit your hotel for long term and short term stays - skyrocketing your revenue and leaving eco-conscious guests charged up and satisfied!
2. ONE STEP AHEAD OF COMPETITORS
Only a small number of hotels have EV chargers available for use on their premises. Get ahead of the competition and shrink the total number of your competitors by engaging in the newest state-of-the-art technology, EV charging.
Drivers of EVs will need a hotel that has charging facilities available, so that they can enjoy free reign of the area with no concern as to whether they will be stranded with no juice!
3. INCREASED PROFIT AND REVENUE
Through monetising the use of your EV chargers, you can make some extra profit for your business in various ways. By installing this tech, you will increase the spend-per-customer. Not only will you be generating an increase in customers, but it’s more than likely that existing guests will spend more on other amenities while waiting for a full charge, for example, boosting revenue on a per customer basis.
4. EASY INSTALLATION AT LOW COSTS
When working with an accredited EV installer, such as Devitech, the process of installation is easy, frictionless, and low cost when compared to other revenue generating solutions.
Your EV technician will be a trusted partner in talking you through the process, and can advise you on the various government-funded grants available to support your business with the costs of building a scalable, green EV charging system.
5. SUPPORT THE UK GOVERNMENT’S GREEN GOALS
Installation of EV chargers at a commercial scale is great for your hotel’s image and reputation as a business that supports the UK government’s zero-emission initiative - something that environmentally-conscious guests will look for when selecting a place to stay. Not only does it look good reducing carbon emissions, but it also feels good knowing that your hotel is doing its bit to help the environment.
CONCLUSION
EV charger installation and the benefits you can reap from it directly addresses the concerns and challenges that many hotel managers have weighing on their shoulders. At the same time, EV charger installation is a relatively low-cost and low effort investment.
As the number of EV owners increases, and the need for EV chargers at commercial places intensifies, it’s important to get ahead of the curve and invest in a worthwhile revenue-generating product.
Installing EV charging stations at your business is no thoughtless process. As a hospitality or leisure business owner, it’s certainly not cheap to keep up with the green electrification of Britain’s transport - so is it even worth the effort and initial cost?
In short: yes, it is profitable. There are two key ways that commercial EV chargers can increase your profit and ROI (return on investment) - directly on a customer-spend basis and indirectly through attracting more customers. EV charging stations often come with an app or separate software that allows for monetisation.
