The installation of multiple EV chargers has been completed at Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl, in partnership with energy supplier, Utilita Energy.
Six EV chargers have been installed, each capable of fully charging a standard Tesla in two-three hours.
The chargers at Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl, will have a ‘pay as you charge’ system and will be searchable via the Carbon3 App.
Each EV charger delivers a 22kw output and is now available for use by hotel guests and venue event visitors with no booking required.
This project is being delivered alongside the installation of over 1,000 solar panels at Utilita Bowl.
Martin Rogers, general manager, said: “As part of Hilton’s ESG strategy Travel with Purpose, our focus is on driving responsible travel and tourism. We are committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences and ensuring our facilities meet the growing demand for sustainable guest experience solutions.
“The installation of six EV charging points at Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl provides another reason to visit our stunning hotel and supports our global efforts to drive responsible travel and tourism.”
Archie Lasseter, head of Sustainability at Utilita, said: “It’s an honour to unveil these EV chargers as part of our ongoing mission to make Utilita Bowl the greenest cricket ground in the world.
“The solar array is our flagship project, although we are committed to sustainability across all aspects of the venue. In addition, the EV charger installation will support the desire for sustainable travel for guests visiting Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl.”
