EV Driver Charging Habits: New Insights for Hotels and Employers

ENERANDO has analyzed the charging habits and cost profiles of electric vehicle (EV) drivers, providing new insights for the hospitality and corporate sectors. The study indicates that EV charging is generally planned and convenient, with drivers willing to pay a fair price for reliable service.

The research shows that most charging sessions occur overnight or during extended stays, presenting an ideal opportunity for hotels to offer charging facilities while guests sleep or relax. At workplaces, charging typically happens during the day, particularly when vehicles are parked for several hours. Employers providing charging points can thereby enhance employee satisfaction and retention.

Regarding costs, the analysis highlights that EV drivers prioritize predictability over solely low prices. They are prepared to pay a reasonable amount for secure and easily accessible charging. Factors such as service quality, availability, and straightforward billing are key considerations for drivers when choosing charging solutions.

For hotels, offering charging infrastructure has become a competitive advantage, with many guests, especially business travelers, considering it a crucial booking criterion. For employers, providing charging points at the workplace signals innovation and responsibility, boosting employee morale and positioning the company as a modern, sustainable entity.
