Why get an EV charger
Mike Emery , Director of EV Charging at CTG ,
has witnessed firsthand the benefits of installing charging stations . He recently sold 28 charging ports to a Las Vegas hotel to
accommodate Tesla drivers coming from Los Angeles . The hotel is now attracting a higher clientele and their charging stations are full nearly every night of the week .
Mike believes any business where customers stay for a few hours can benefit from EV charging , whether it ’ s a hotel , restaurant , hospital or office building .
“ Any destination where people want to come to spend dollars or to travel to , it gives you a leg up on any other place that people might go where they ' re going to stay at least a couple of hours ,” Mike says . “ If there ' s a charger nearby , most drivers will opt to go to the place with the charging .”
Industries where there ’ s a lot of choice , especially in hospitality and entertainment venues , can get an advantage in the market of EV drivers .
“ As an EV driver myself , I am always looking for hotels , restaurants , etc . that have EV chargers ,” he says .
