Independent energy supplier PE has partnered with Michels & Taylor (M&T) Hotel Management to rollout new EV charging stations across its UK-managed hotel portfolio.
The twin-socketed charging stations provide up to 22kW of charge for two vehicles and installation is now complete at Hilton Bournemouth, DoubleTree by Hilton Elstree and DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke-on-Trent.
Each PE Duo charger can add 50 miles of range in one hour, depending on the vehicle model and battery, and are compatible with all EVs on the market today.
In addition, six additional sites – including Holiday Inn Bolton, DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham, and the Welcombe Hotel – are either being built or scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.
M&T anticipates the EV initiative will drive incremental footfall and revenue, as guests, visitors and local drivers make use of amenities while their cars are charging on site.
As PE energy customers, the charging revenue its hotels earn is also deducted from monthly electricity bills, reducing operating costs.
Nathan Daniels, Head of EV Charging at PE, said, “Partnerships like this are vital to expanding our network of fast charging and making EV travel more reliable and accessible to drivers across the country and they also support a greener future – a factor that’s becoming increasingly important for hotels and all businesses and the customers they serve.”
Peter Hales, Managing Director at M&T said, “The introduction of easy to access EV charging stations not only supports our sustainability goals, but it also adds great value to our clients and hotel guests.
“While charging, both hotel guests and local visitors can take advantage of on-site restaurants and leisure amenities.”
