Every year, more travellers are choosing electric vehicles, and many now look for accommodation where they can conveniently charge overnight.
On a recent family trip from Hobart up to Launceston, we spent ages trying to find accommodation with charging for our EV. Options were scarce and really limited where we could stay.
Many government agencies and businesses are transitioning their fleets to electric, and are facing similar problems when travelling around Tassie.
EV charging options will become increasingly important for accommodation providers to stay ahead.
Accommodation is often listed on EV charging and travel platforms (eg Plugshare), making charging another feature that can influence booking decisions.
And now is a great time to jump on board.
The Tasmanian Government is offering grants to eligible accommodation providers to help with the installation costs of EV chargers.
