Australia’s EV market has accelerated from just 6 to over 100 models in the past seven years—marking a powerful shift toward eco travel. As a result, hospitality and accommodation providers nationwide are stepping up, installing EV charging amenities to attract a growing wave of private, corporate, and government travellers committed to sustainable transport.
Today’s travellers hit the road with new expectations, especially when it comes to charging access. For holiday parks, resorts, and caravan parks, EV charging is no longer just a nice-to-have feature; it’s fast becoming a guest essential. Whether your visitors arrive in sleek electric vehicles or are towing eco-conscious caravans, having the right charging infrastructure on-site not only enhances their stay—it sets your destination apart.
In this blog, we’ll explore how EV charging can enhance guest experience, support sustainability goals, and even open up new revenue streams—while also looking at how to tailor solutions for the unique needs of caravan parks and touring travelers.
1. Attract More Guests
– EV drivers actively choose destinations where they can charge.
– Parks with chargers stand out on EV apps, travel maps, and booking sites.
2. Boost Occupancy Rates
– EV travellers will often stay longer while charging.
– They may prefer overnight stays at sites with charging options.
3. Future-Proof the Business
– The number of electric vehicles — including caravanning EVs and EV buses — is growing fast.
– Installing chargers now gets ahead of competitors who aren’t ready.
4. Increase Guest Spend
– While charging, guests are more likely to spend money onsite (café, supplies, etc.).
5. Enhance Sustainability and ESG Credentials
– Appeal to eco-conscious travellers.
– Promote the park’s commitment to reducing carbon footprint (good for marketing and awards).
6. Improve Park Reputation
– EV charging positions the park as modern, innovative and guest-focused.
– Great talking point in marketing, social media, and brochures.
7. Ready for Group Travel (EV Buses, EV Caravans)
– Big opportunities to attract eco-tour groups, school camps, and group bookings who need charging options.
8. Access to Vouchers, Incentives & Promotions
– Early adopters can benefit from grants, discount codes and ChargeBoss promotions to make installation easier and cheaper.
