In this episode we speak to Nico Tréguer, co-founder of Roberts and Treguer and The Culpeper Family. Nico spoke about founding the group alongside his longtime friend Gareth, having had a vision for bringing more nature spaces to cities, the planned extension of The Buxton in Spitalfields, and how the site’s storytelling engages guests and the local community, how the Culpeper Family’s core sustainability ethos helped it secure its B-Corp status and why hospitality has a responsibility to educate and innovate when it comes to sustainability.

With sustainability at the forefront of everybody’s minds and the governments’ ban on the sale of diesel and petrol cars by 2030 it wont be long until the majority of hotel guests will be driving electric vehicles. Here are 10 reasons to install EV charging points now.

Attract eco-friendly customers

By installing EV charge points at your hotel, you are showing your commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This can attract eco-friendly customers who are more likely to choose businesses that align with their values.

Expand your customer base

With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, installing EV charge points can expand your customer base to those who may not have considered your hotel before. It can also attract customers who are willing to pay a premium for the convenience of charging their vehicles while they stay.

Increase revenue

Installing EV charge points can create a new revenue stream for your hotel. You can charge customers for the use of the EV charge points, generating additional income for your business.

Providing EV charge points can enhance the overall guest experience and create a more convenient and enjoyable stay for electric vehicle owners. It can make their stay more stress-free, as they don’t have to worry about finding an alternative place to charge their vehicle.

Installing EV charge points can give your hotel a competitive edge over other hotels that do not offer this service. It can be a unique selling point that sets your hotel apart from others in the area.

Reduce your carbon footprint

By providing EV charge points, you are promoting sustainable transportation and reducing your hotel’s carbon footprint. This can help to improve your environmental performance and appeal to customers who are concerned about sustainability.

Support local and national initiatives

Many cities and countries are promoting the use of electric vehicles as part of their efforts to reduce emissions and combat climate change. By installing EV charge points, your hotel can support these initiatives and show your commitment to sustainable transportation.

Encourage longer stays

Electric vehicle owners may be more likely to choose a hotel with EV charge points, as they can charge their vehicle while they stay and extend their trip. This can lead to longer stays and increased revenue for your hotel.

Boost brand image

Installing EV charge points can boost your hotel’s brand image and reputation as a socially responsible and environmentally conscious business. This can help to attract customers who value sustainability and social responsibility.
