We know many guests are returning to travel and are aware of the impact they have on
environment around them. Transport is one the biggest creators of emissions and many guests who travel are looking to lower their emissions by renting an electric car when on holiday. In some parts of the world electric cars are very popular and there is great infrastructure in place to support those who drive electric cars but coming to a new country or city and trying to familiarise yourself with an electric charging network can be daunting.
There are a couple of things you can do to help your guests make the most out of renting an electric car while on holiday.
Find out what car rental companies in your city offer eclectic cars for rent and the types of electric cars they offer.
Look up what charging networks are available for your guests to access and the
costs involved and availability.
Find out if the guest will need to rent or bring their own charging cables with them
as they travel.
Find out the names of the charging networks in your country so you can help your guests plan their travel and easily find where they can charge their car. Many will
have apps with a map that your guest can set up an account with.
If you do offer electric vehicle charging from your listing be sure to specify the type of
charging you have, rapid or slow charging and the types of connection you can support, also, mention if you have any cables that guests can use while they stay with you or if they will need to bring their own.
While electric car charging may seem like a minefield to begin with, especially if you do not own an electric car, simply doing a little bit of research on what is available in your local area will be greatly appreciated by your guests. Have you ever driven an electric car ? What did you think of it?
