Zapgo powers up hospitality at the Independent Hotel Show 2025
Zapgo (Stand 2323) will showcase its rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions at the Independent Hotel Show, in partnership with James Hallam Insurance Brokers, when it returns to Olympia on 6–7 October 2025. As a UK-based charge point operator (CPO), Zapgo delivers reliable, rapid charging to carefully selected destinations across the country, with a focus on areas that lack robust EV infrastructure.
For hotels, restaurants and hospitality venues, EV charging is no longer an optional extra. Only around 8% of the UK’s public chargers are currently located at hotels, yet nearly half of EV drivers say they hesitate to book accommodation without on-site charging. Zapgo enables hotels to meet this growing expectation, attract new customers and future-proof their business with hassle-free charging solutions.
Zapgo’s model is designed to remove complexity for hoteliers. The company manages the entire process, from planning permission and grid connection to installation, at no cost to the hotel. Once the chargers are live, hotels immediately begin earning revenue. Zapgo also provides 24/7 maintenance and customer support to ensure a seamless, reliable charging experience for guests.
The process starts with an initial consultation to assess the site and recommend the most suitable setup. After installation, Zapgo continues to monitor performance and provide ongoing assistance, allowing hotels to focus on their guests rather than technical issues.
Enhancing guest experience and revenue
EV charging is increasingly seen as an essential amenity. By installing Zapgo chargers, hotels can give guests the confidence to charge their vehicles during their stay and depart with ease for the next leg of their journey. This convenience strengthens customer loyalty and attracts a growing demographic of EV drivers.
The chargers also create a new revenue stream from day one. With EV guests typically staying around 50 minutes while their cars charge, hotels benefit from increased dwell time and higher on-site spending in restaurants, cafés or leisure facilities.
As the number of electric cars on UK roads continues to rise, on-site charging is a visible and practical way for hotels to support lower-carbon travel. It demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and future-proofs operations in line with the UK’s plan to phase out new petrol and diesel cars by 2035.
Redefining luxury for the modern traveller
The Independent Hotel Show’s 2025 theme of “redefining luxury” reflects a shift in what guests value. For many EV drivers, luxury now includes a reliable and convenient charging experience that integrates seamlessly into their stay. Zapgo’s solutions deliver this modern amenity, ensuring hotels meet evolving expectations while maintaining the high standards guests associate with a premium visit.
Independent hotels value Zapgo’s expertise and flexible approach. With experience across a wide range of sites, the company ensures a smooth installation process with minimal disruption, no upfront investment and no ongoing maintenance costs. From the first day of operation, Zapgo chargers generate revenue and enhance guest satisfaction, making them an attractive addition to any independent property.
Zapgo (Stand 2323) will be on hand at the Independent Hotel Show 2025 to discuss how EV charging can boost guest experience, increase car park revenue and strengthen a hotel’s sustainability strategy.
