Becky shares how Voqa is tackling the challenge of destination charging, introducing a 7–22kW AC charger with built-in contactless payments, designed to make charging effortless for drivers and more commercially viable for venues.

Six in ten UK holiday parks currently have no onsite charging provision at all. The parks that have worked this out are already attracting more customers. The ones that haven't are about to find out what it feels like to lose bookings to a competitor whose sole differentiator is a socket.

We buy train tickets, hotel rooms, lunch, almost everything in daily life, with a tap of a card or phone. At some point, the destination charging industry looked at that and thought: but what if we made it harder?

Filling just one additional room per week due to EV charging availability translates to £6,000 to £8,000 in annual room revenue alone, before accounting for food, beverage, spa services, or other ancillary spending that accompanies an overnight stay.

It's raining. They're late for a meeting. Their phone signal is patchy. And they're standing in a hotel car park, staring at a charger with a QR code, genuinely stressed about something that should be as simple as filling up with petrol.

I've always been drawn to vehicles with big engines and the odd performance car. So when I started seriously considering an EV, the question that kept nagging at me was obvious: would I miss that raw, mechanical soul that had always defined my relationship with cars?

Installing EV chargers isn’t as simple as buying and plugging in a unit. The key to success? Make sure you have the right conversations with your electrical contractor. Here’s what you should be asking to ensure your EV charging setup works for your business and your customers.

If you're thinking about workplace EV charging, here's the good news: the UK Government is currently footing up to £14,000 of the bill in grant funding - real money, not some vague “green incentive.”

The world is undeniably shifting towards electric vehicles (EVs). The race for cleaner, greener transportation has been won, with momentum driving the transition away from the internal combustion engine. A bold statement? Undoubtedly…

An opening question to consider. As a business what does it mean if more customers, guests, visitors, potential employees consider you positively and want to turn up at your location?

The concept of destination charging - charging your EV where you’re already spending time, like at a hotel, a leisure park centre, or a workplace - is gaining traction, but is it really as transformative as it sounds?
