Guest charging for hotels, resorts and restaurants that want to welcome EV drivers.

Guest-first charging that signals you’re EV-ready.

For hotels, resorts and restaurants, EV charging is as much a guest experience decision as an electrical one — a charger at the entrance signals that EV drivers are genuinely welcome, not an afterthought. Lightning Energy’s AC range fits naturally into hospitality settings where guests park for a meal, an overnight stay, or a longer visit, giving them a meaningful top-up without needing DC-speed charging.

Placement matters here more than in many other settings: a charger near the main entrance or valet area tends to see more use than one tucked into an overflow lot, and clear signage helps guests find it without needing to ask staff. Networked units with simple app-based access also mean staff don’t need to hand out access cards or manage a physical key process.

Whether you’re adding one or two chargers to an existing property or planning charging into a new build, our team can help size the installation to your guest parking and typical dwell times.
