3 . Automated Payment Systems It ’ s no longer viable , with escalating energy costs , to offer charging for free - or even at a set rate , as the cost of power will fluctuate greatly . Having an automated payment system takes the onus off your staff ( as they won ’ t have to calculate energy use or rates ). They ’ re also simple for your guests & visitors to use , so they ’ re happy and you don ’ t have to intervene . ( See figure 1 with Monta enabled )
5 . Promote your ‘ green ’ credentials Sustainability goals are a key consideration for many businesses . They are also important to individuals who are keen to reduce their carbon footprints . Offering EV charging facilities will appeal to both these groups , plus lower your company emissions if you adopt Electric Vehicles for your own business .
The Good News If you are concerned about the cost of installing or upgrading your EV charging system , there are grants available to help . Although the Government ’ s OZEV EV grant schemes keep changing , small accommodation providers ( with less than 250 employees ) ARE still eligible to receive substantial funding ; for installation and charging units ( up to 75 % of the cost ).
For more tips on how to implement packages to increase revenue from your EV charging facilities , and how to expand your offering using the current grant process , contact iDACS .
We have produced a guide specifically for hospitality giving more details .

4 . Become a Destination Day Out Make more income from your onsite services , by attracting people with Electric Vehicles and offering them the added benefit of charging their vehicle whilst using your spa , gym , restaurant , business suite , etc . For example , you could offer a ‘ rest & recharge ’ package with lunch specials and 1 hour of EV charging included .
