Integrating EV Charging Stations

Many hotel owners face the challenge of selecting compatible charging solutions that seamlessly integrate with their current infrastructure without incurring exorbitant installation costs.

Hotels are often located near highways with ample parking and existing electrical systems, making them ideal for hosting fast-charging EV stations. Yet most hotels are equipped with 208v/110v electrical setups, which are not typically compatible with the 480v input required for many direct-current fast chargers (DCFCs). The installation of 480v solutions often involves additional transformers to support grid capacity, adding complexity and expense.

There is a solution that doesn’t require a full additional installation: deploying 208v-compatible Level 3 fast chargers offers a cost-effective solution with a potential return on investment within four years. To effectively navigate these challenges, it’s important to thoroughly assess the existing electrical capacity and infrastructure and consult experts for optimization strategies. Nonetheless, not every hotel will require a Level 3 charger; depending on the hotel’s specific operations, a Level 2 charger is also suitable for hotel guests mainly looking to charge their vehicles overnight. The main goal is to follow a 208v-native plan that eliminates the need for additional transformers to support the EV charging technology. For example, Wingate by Wyndham Tinley Park deployed an L3 solution, while the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco and the Hilton in New York City installed L2 solutions. By strategically addressing compatibility and cost-effectiveness, hotels can establish themselves as leaders in sustainable hospitality, attract EV-driving guests, and contribute to a greener transportation landscape.

Elevating Hospitality 

Implementing EV charging stations at hotels is no longer seen as a practical amenity but rather a strategic investment that enhances the overall guest experience, boosts revenue, and accelerates sustainability progress.

While these stations meet the needs of today’s travelers, they also pave the way for a more sustainable and enjoyable future in travel. So, though a summer road trip in an EV is becoming increasingly viable, continued collaboration among stakeholders, including hotel owners, is the key to making this a reality.
