While numbers of electric vehicle (EV) owners are steadily growing, charging anxiety remains a major pain point and disadvantage of EV ownership.
Netherlands-based booking site SleeperCharger is looking to eliminate this anxiety by allowing travellers to book at 60,000 hotels with a guaranteed charging station within 250 metres. Although many booking platforms claim to already offer a similar service, research by SleeperCharger found that chargers were not available at 40% of hotels that said they have them.
SleeperCharger is partnering with travel platform Expedia Group to link travellers with guaranteed access to charging facilities at hotels and resorts, while also linking hotels with public charging stations in close proximity. It’s the world’s first provider of hotels with access to guaranteed charging points within a five minute walk.
The service is offering peace of mind to travelling EV owners, as well as expanding access to the infrastructure critical to ownership. It may also help boost confidence for others who are considering making the switch to EV ownership.
