Hotel and lodge EV charging

Let guests arrive with a flat battery and leave with a full one, whether they're staying the night or visiting for lunch.

The challenge

What hospitality & tourism need to get right

  • Guests travel long distances

    EV drivers on road trips choose accommodation and stops where they know they can charge.

  • Remote sites, limited supply

    Lodges and estates outside town may have limited supply capacity or long cable runs.

  • Keeping it simple for staff

    Front-desk and estate staff need a system that runs without technical support every day.

Why guests look for charging

EV drivers on longer trips plan around where they can charge. A charger at your hotel, lodge or wine estate makes you an easy choice and can bring in day visitors who stop for a meal or a tasting while they top up.

Planning destination charging

A site assessment checks your supply, parking and cable routes. Most properties are well served by commercial dual-socket AC chargers, or a single 7 kW home AC wallbox for smaller guesthouses. For properties with solar, see our page on solar and energy resilience.

Installation and support

Our registered electricians carry out the installation and certify every circuit. We configure guest access and pricing, and offer maintenance and support so chargers are working when guests arrive.

Our approach

Destination charging that suits your property

Most guests stay for hours or overnight, so AC charging is usually enough. We place chargers where guests park, set up access for guests or visitors, and size the system around your supply, including solar where you have it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Speak with StrataCharge by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Do hotels need DC fast chargers?

Usually not. Overnight and day guests have time to charge on AC. DC makes sense for highway stops or sites where visitors stay under an hour.

Should we charge guests for charging?

That's your call. Some properties include it in the stay, others bill per kWh through an app. We set the system up either way.

Our lodge is remote. Can we still install chargers?

Often, yes. We check your supply and any solar or backup system, then recommend a charger power that your site can support.

How do staff manage the chargers?

We set up simple access, usually RFID cards issued at reception or an app, and train staff on the basics.
