Home / Solutions / Hotel EV Charging
Turn EV charging from a guest complaint into a booking driver. Branded, silent AC and DC chargers that integrate with your property management system, sized for hotel, resort and serviced-apartment car parks — at every star level.
Challenges
22% of premium hotel guests say EV charging availability influences their booking decision. Properties without adequate charging are losing high-value guests to competitors who have invested — especially in markets where EV adoption exceeds 30% of new car sales.
Guests arriving with low battery after long drives need reliable, easy-to-use chargers — not confusing third-party apps, broken units, or valet-managed workarounds that create negative TripAdvisor reviews.
Standard industrial chargers clash with luxury property design. Five-star hotels need charging equipment that matches their architectural standards — clean lines, premium finishes, and branded interfaces that reinforce, not undermine, the guest experience.
Unmanaged EV charging during peak periods (guest check-in, event arrivals) can spike demand charges by 2-3×. Without OCPP load balancing, a hotel can pay more for electricity than it earns from charging fees.
Guests expect EV charging to appear on their room folio — not a separate app or payment terminal. Integrating charger billing with your PMS (Opera, Fidelio, etc.) via OCPP is essential for a seamless guest journey.
Overnight guests need AC Level 2 charging (6-8 hour dwell time). Day visitors and event attendees need DC fast charging (30-45 minutes). A single charger type cannot serve both — the right mix of AC and DC is critical.
Recommended Chargers
Guest-facing chargers chosen for silent operation, premium enclosures and branded interfaces — one for overnight parking, one for valet and daytime visitors.

Proven Results
"The branded interface on the charger screen was essential — our guests see the Landmark Hospitality logo, a welcome message in Arabic or English, and their room number. It feels like part of the hotel, not third-party equipment." — Engineering Director, Landmark Hospitality Group

Match charger count to room count, parking capacity and guest profile rather than copying another property. The planning estimates on this page give a starting point: a 20–50 room boutique hotel typically installs 6× AC 7 kW plus 1× DC 60 kW, a 100–200 room business hotel with conference facilities installs around 20× AC 7 kW plus 3× DC 80 kW, and a 200+ room resort with multiple F&B outlets and a spa installs roughly 40× AC 7 kW plus 6× DC 80 kW.
Through OCPP integration with the property management system. At the three Dubai luxury hotels in our case study, guests authenticate with their RFID room key card and the charging cost is posted automatically to the room folio via Oracle Opera — no separate app, no front-desk transaction, and no revenue leakage.
Not when they are load-managed. Dynamic load balancing across the AC wallboxes at the Dubai properties cut peak demand charges by 31%, saving about AED 64,000 a year, and OCPP scheduling can shift charging into overnight off-peak windows when guest parking is at its fullest.
Tell us about your property — number of rooms, parking capacity, and target guest profile. We'll design a charging solution that matches your brand and budget, with PMS integration options.
