ChargeBoss: Pioneering Change at Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Resort
One standout example of this initiative is the work ChargeBoss has done with Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Resort, Australia’s largest public access golf course. Recognising the increasing number of EV owners, the resort sought to provide convenient charging options for its guests and visitors. According to Rory Burling, Yarrawonga Mulwala Executive Manager:
“We’ve started getting inquiries from guests asking if we can cater to EV owners. We wanted to have safe charging as part of the stay, rather than guests running a power lead out the back door!”
“The installation process was simple and stress-free, and the chargers were ready by the time the new buildings opened.”
ChargeBoss helped the resort launch overnight EV charging stations at their newly built villas. This allows guests to recharge their vehicles while enjoying their stay, ultimately enhancing their experience and satisfaction.In addition to overnight charging, we also facilitated the implementation of daytime EV charging stations for golf, conference, and day visitors at the club section of the premises. This development ensures that all guests can access charging facilities, making it easier for them to enjoy the resort’s amenities without worrying about their vehicle’s battery.
Positive Impact and Guest Experience
The success of this project is underscored by the positive feedback from the resort’s management. Rory Burling, Executive Manager at Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Resort, shared his satisfaction with the process: “The installation was simple and stress-free, and the chargers were ready by the time the new buildings opened.” As Mr. Burling further noted, “the chargers are user-friendly, requiring just a QR code scan with no need for guests to download additional apps.”
As the demand for EV charging continues to rise, now is the time for accommodation providers to consider adding these valuable amenities to their venues. ChargeBoss is here to help navigate the journey from conception to installation, ensuring a seamless and successful transition to an EV-friendly destination.
