The clocks go back, the mornings feel crisp, and the roads start to gather their first layer of fallen leaves. Autumn in the UK is a beautiful season, but it can also make driving a little more challenging, especially if you’re behind the wheel of an electric vehicle.

Yesterday, Andy Taylor and David Wells represented Go Zero at the BVRLA Parliamentary Reception at the Pavilion Terrace in the House of Commons. 

Over the past few years, I've had countless conversations with hotel owners and general managers across the UK. Most of them begin with a simple question: "Do we really need EV chargers yet?" The answer is no longer up for debate. It's not a question of whether your hotel needs EV charging. It's a question of what it’s costing you not to have it.

Electric vehicles are no longer a niche trend; they’re fast becoming the norm. For hotel managers, this shift brings the new opportunity (and responsibility) of offering EV charging to guests.

When individuals are away with business, their “home for the night” is a hotel. If that hotel can’t offer an EV charger, the driver’s day becomes more complicated, and the employer starts looking for alternative accommodation.

Picture this: a time-critical business trip, low battery and no certainty of finding a working EV charger en route. That was the reality recently faced by James, a senior marketing strategist from Leeds. Tasked with delivering a highly important product strategy presentation to prospective clients near Reading, James’ experience highlights just how crucial seamless EV charging is, especially for business travellers.
