The Berkeley Square Hotel Bristol.
Located on one of Bristol's most prestigious addresses, The Berkeley Square Hotel is a boutique property where guest experience is everything.
So when EV charging started appearing on the radar, the team wanted to make sure they got it right.
The business.
The Berkeley Square serves a mix of business and leisure guests, many of whom now drive electric vehicles. With hotel booking platforms increasingly offering EV charging filters, the hotel recognised an emerging need; guests were beginning to expect charging facilities, and hotels without them risked being overlooked.
It wasn't about making a grand statement. It was about staying relevant and making sure the hotel didn't quietly slip down the list when EV drivers searched for somewhere to stay.
But any solution had to fit the hotel's way of working. The reception team are focused on delivering a personal guest experience. The last thing they needed was troubleshooting charger issues, managing payments, or fielding questions about how to start a session.
Contactless payment changes everything.
Voqa's contactless payment solution made the decision straightforward.
No apps, no accounts, no RFID cards. Guests simply tap their card and charge.
It's the kind of simplicity that fits naturally into a hotel stay without creating any extra work for staff.
What would EV charging look like with zero friction?
The Voqa solution.
For Guests: Plug in, tap, done. Charging that just works, with no registration or downloads required.
No friction. Just seamless charging that fits naturally into their hotel stay.
For The Berkeley Square Hotel: A completely hands-off solution that attracts bookings from EV drivers who specifically filter for charging availability.
No staff training required, no payment processing, and a Driver Support line to remove pressure from the Reception Team.

An effortless service.
When Future Leap's existing EV charger failed, they faced more than a simple replacement decision.
As sustainability consultants hosting a co-working community, their workplace infrastructure speaks directly to their brand values and credibility with clients, partners, and members.
With a failed charger and the need to serve multiple user groups - their core team, co-working members, and visiting clients - it was the perfect moment to ask:
What would workplace EV charging look like when it genuinely models best practice?
The Voqa solution.
For Drivers: Effortless charging that just works. Whether you're a Future Leap team member, a co-worker, or a visiting client, you simply plug in and tap your card. No apps to navigate, no registration hurdles, just frictionless charging that integrates seamlessly into your workday.
For FutureLeap: A solution that aligns actions with advice, operating completely hands-off. No staff training needed, no payment processing complexity, no customer support burden, and no user management across different groups.
It's sustainable infrastructure that strengthens their workspace and reinforces their brand values with every charge - demonstrating authentic commitment to decarbonisation without creating operational complexity.
And cherry on the cake, they have opened it up to local residents after hours.
“We replaced our obsolete EV charger with Voqa's contactless payment charger and it's been an instant hit! It supports our brand ethos as a sustainability consultancy, provides local residents with a charging option in an area with minimal public chargers, and one of our co-workers has an EV but no home charger. It also looks great and is super easy to use!”
Lauren Gillis, Sustainability Consultant & Strategic Partnerships Lead - FutureLeap.
