September 2025 set a new record for battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in the UK. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), 72,779 new BEVs were registered last month alone, which is a 29.1% year-on-year increase, making it the highest ever monthly volume.

Staying at a hotel should be relaxing. But if you drive an EV, there is a new social minefield to navigate: the charging bay. Much like the hotel breakfast buffet, it is all about sharing, being polite and avoiding that awkward moment when someone else catches you out.

Go Zero, the UK’s specialist in EV charging for hotels and leisure destinations, has announced a major step forward in its mission to make destination charging the norm across the UK. Following the successful securing of a £100 million debt financing facility, Go Zero has partnered with Rolec to deliver scalable, guest-friendly charging infrastructure.

Not long ago, offering EV charging at a hotel was seen as an added bonus, a way to stand out to a small group of early adopters. Fast forward to 2025, and things have changed. With EV adoption surging across the UK, charging has become as essential to the guest experience as free Wi-Fi or complimentary toiletries.

Earlier this year, the Polestar 3 set a new Guinness World Record by travelling an incredible 581 miles on a single charge. Milestones like this show just how far EV technology has come, and they’re reshaping how drivers think about charging.

Go Zero, a leading destination-focused EV charging company, today announced that it has secured a new debt financing facility of up to £100 million with a strategic partner. The funding will enable Go Zero to accelerate the expansion of its EV charging network across key hotel and hospitality locations in the UK.
