EV Charging for Hotels and Resorts

EV drivers filter their bookings by charging availability. Adding chargers to a hotel or resort lot moves your property to the top of that list, keeps guests on site longer, and creates a new line of ancillary revenue from the parking you already own.

Why it works at hotels & hospitality

• Appear on charging network maps and booking filters that EV drivers rely on.
• Charge overnight while guests sleep. Level 2 fits the dwell time perfectly.
• Valet friendly layouts with cable management that keeps drive lanes clean.
• Set guest, member, and public pricing separately from one dashboard.
• Reserve stalls for fleet, shuttle, or rideshare vehicles when needed.

What it costs

Most hotel projects start with four to eight Level 2 ports. Installed cost typically runs $4,000 to $12,000 per station depending on distance from the electrical room and trenching, before the 30% federal credit.

Project timeline

Site assessment and proposal in about a week, permitting and utility review four to eight weeks, installation two to five days per phase, commissioning and staff training on handover.

Common questions

Should a hotel install Level 2 or DC fast charging?

Guests park overnight, so Level 2 covers a full charge before checkout at a fraction of the cost. A single DC port near the porte-cochere is worth adding for day guests, restaurant traffic and quick top-ups.

Can we charge guests for charging?

Yes. QCharge lets you set separate guest, member and public rates, bill to the room, validate sessions, or offer complimentary charging as an amenity tier.

Will chargers show up on driver navigation apps?

Yes. Public stations are listed on charging network maps and in-car navigation, which is how many EV drivers filter hotel bookings in the first place.
