Why EV Charging is Essential
EV charging is no longer a luxury amenity; it's a critical piece of infrastructure for attracting modern travelers, enhancing your brand, and creating new revenue streams.
Attract Modern Travelers
EV drivers actively plan their travel around reliable charging. By offering this amenity, you tap into a growing, high-value guest demographic and appear on essential EV-friendly travel maps.
U.S. plug-in sales nearly doubled from 2020 to 2021, a trend that continues to accelerate.
Create New Revenue
Turn your charging stations into a profit center. Set per-use, per-hour, or per-kWh fees to generate passive income that offsets installation costs and contributes to your bottom line.

The Right Technology for Hospitality
Implementing EV charging doesn't have to mean a costly electrical overhaul. Modern solutions like load management and dual-port chargers make it easy to scale your offerings efficiently.
Simplify with Load Management
Load management is a smart feature that allows multiple chargers to share a single electrical circuit. Instead of each charger drawing full power, the system intelligently distributes the available amperage. This prevents overloads and allows you to install more chargers without expensive panel upgrades.

Funding Your EV Charging Project
Significant financial incentives can drastically reduce the upfront cost of purchasing and installing EV charging stations, making it a highly attractive investment for your property.
