Who does EV charging attract to your holiday rental
1. The Business Traveller
This is someone who meets clients on the road, and is looking to stay over for the night. They are someone who wants to rest for the night after a long day on the road and plug in their EV for an overnight charge as opposed to waiting for a couple of hours at a public charging point then driving back to their accommodation.
According to user feedback, 9 out of 10 business travellers prioritise accommodation with onsite EV charging facilities as they simply treasure their time. Mind you, this is especially crucial if the venue is in a remote location with no public charging infrastructure!*
2. The Serial Staycationer
Usually a family staying over the weekend looking for a quiet escape from the bustle of city life, they would be travelling great distances and need a charge when they finally arrive.
In most cases, if they’re destination does not have charging facility onsite, they would stop over at a service station on the motorway for a quick charge. However, our users have vehemently told us they would much prefer a destination charging facility as they would not only check-in quicker but would save them more money!
Most of them have told us that it’s becoming as necessary as WiFi. If the venue doesn’t have a dedicated charging facility, they simply won’t book due to the immense hassle*
3. The Longstay Self-caterer
The self-caterer stays at holiday cottages in remote locations for extended periods of time as a means of a hard reset from the stresses of modern day life. Like all driven professionals, they’re more sustainable-oriented and have made the necessary switch to electric.
From driving around to nearby attractions or to the local pub, the longstay self-caterer is not only hungry for a quiet accommodation but one that understands their needs for charging up their EV. You wouldn’t expect them to charge their smart phone at a rest stop, so why expect them to charge their car anywhere else other than where they’re staying?*
