What is destination EV charging?
Destination EV charging refers to the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charge points at locations where people typically spend extended periods, such as hotels, leisure destinations, public car parks and other hospitality-oriented establishments.
These charging stations are designed to offer a convenient and accessible way for guests, customers, and staff to recharge their electric vehicles while they enjoy the amenities of the destination. By incorporating EV charging into their facilities, businesses can cater to the growing number of EV drivers and enhance the overall experience for their visitors.

Benefits to destination EV charging
Attract new customers
Providing access to EV chargers can appeal to a new demographic of customers who prioritise sustainability. This can lead to increased occupancy rates for hotels, higher foot traffic for restaurants and entertainment venues, and overall enhanced customer satisfaction.
Brand reputation
Destination EV charging can improve a business’s reputation as it sends a strong message to customers on their stance on sustainability, showing they’re a forward-thinking organisation that is committed to supporting the EV transition. This can strengthen brand loyalty and positive brand associations.
Generate additional revenue
By adding a fee for customers using your EV chargers, businesses can generate additional revenue over time, offsetting the initial infrastructure costs and allowing you to expand your EV charging offering. Read more about generating revenue from commercial EV chargers.
Extended stays
Offering EV chargers at your destination encourages customers to stay longer at your premises as their vehicles charge. By increasing customer dwell time, there is a higher likelihood of customers spending more whilst at your business.
Software to manage destination EV chargers
Effectively managing destination EV chargers requires a sophisticated software solution that can handle a range of operational tasks, from real-time monitoring to payment management. Software such as the Radius Charge customer portal provides real-time data on charger usage, status and performance. This information can be utilised to optimise the availability and efficiency of the chargers, ensuring a reliable charging experience for your users.
Installing destination EV chargers
To ensure a safe and successful installation of destination EV chargers, there are several steps to follow. The process begins with a site survey to determine the site requirements, including factors such as existing electrical infrastructure, optimal locations for the chargers and safety considerations. This information can assist in selecting the most appropriate type and number of chargers to meet the expected demand.
Following the site assessment, our expert team will collaborate with you to develop an EV charging strategy, and our professional engineers will implement the infrastructure at your premises. Additionally, planning for future scalability during the installation phase can help accommodate future growing demand without significant additional costs.
After installation, we will set you up on the Radius Charge customer portal, which allows you to seamlessly view and manage your EV charging estate.
Maximise your EV chargers usage
Guests
Designated EV charging spots in guest parking areas are a valuable amenity for destination locations, providing guests with the convenience of recharging their vehicles overnight or while they enjoy the facilities. This can enhance the overall guest experience and ensures their EVs are ready for the next day’s journey.
Staff
Installing EV chargers in staff parking areas demonstrates a business’s commitment to sustainability and supports employees who drive electric vehicles. Providing this amenity can enhance employee satisfaction and retention, as it offers a convenient solution for those who need to recharge their vehicles during work hours. It also aligns with corporate sustainability goals and promotes a culture of environmental responsibility within the organisation. Read more about workplace EV charging.
General public
Public parking areas at destinations such as shopping centres, entertainment venues, and tourist attractions can benefit from the inclusion of EV charging stations. These chargers provide visitors with the opportunity to recharge their vehicles while they shop, dine, or enjoy various activities, making the destination more attractive to EV drivers.
