Roam to deploy EV charging at Hand Picked Hotels’ luxury country house properties

Roam Charging has been awarded a contract to install electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Hand Picked Hotels’ collection of luxury country house hotels and coastal resorts. The agreement involves the deployment of 112 EV charge points at 20 properties throughout the UK and the Channel Islands. Roam will oversee the entire process, from the design and installation to ongoing maintenance, ensuring a seamless experience for both the hotels and their guests. The selected hotels are situated on historic estates and picturesque countryside locations, making them ideal destinations for overnight stays. The introduction of Roam’s EV charging stations aims to provide convenient destination charging for guests, supporting the growing demand for sustainable travel options. This initiative aligns with the increasing emphasis on environmentally friendly practices within the hospitality sector, particularly at high-end venues where guest experience remains paramount. James Randall, CEO of Roam Charging, highlighted the synergy between the two companies, noting that Hand Picked Hotels’ portfolio offers the perfect environment for EV charging to add significant value. He emphasised that the partnership will enable visitors to travel more sustainably without sacrificing comfort or the quality of their stay. This collaboration reflects a broader trend in the UK hospitality industry towards integrating green technologies to meet evolving consumer expectations. Looking ahead, the rollout of these charging points could set a precedent for other luxury hotel groups seeking to enhance their sustainability credentials. As electric vehicle adoption continues to rise, providing reliable and accessible charging infrastructure at popular destinations will become increasingly important. Roam’s comprehensive management of the charging network positions them as a key player in facilitating this transition within the premium hospitality market.
