Hands-on Review Notes
Electric vehicle charging is becoming an increasingly important amenity for short-term rentals. With EV adoption accelerating globally, guests who drive electric cars actively search for properties with charging — and are willing to pay more for them.
OK2Charge provides EV charging solutions designed specifically for the hospitality industry, handling the hardware, installation, and payment processing so hosts can offer this amenity without operational headaches.
Why EV Charging Matters for STRs
Studies show that listings with EV charging availability command higher nightly rates and appear in more guest searches. As more travellers switch to electric vehicles, this amenity is shifting from a nice-to-have to an expected feature — similar to WiFi in the early 2000s.
OK2Charge allows hosts to: attract a growing segment of EV-driving guests, justify higher nightly rates, generate passive income through charging fees, and differentiate their listing from competitors who do not offer charging.
Hardware & Installation
OK2Charge provides the charging hardware and manages installation. The chargers are compatible with all major EV models (Tesla, Nissan, BMW, Ford, etc.) and support both Level 1 and Level 2 charging speeds. Installation is handled by certified electricians.
Payment Processing
Hosts can choose to offer free charging as an amenity or set their own rates through OK2Charge's payment system. Guests pay via the OK2Charge app or website, and funds are deposited into the host's account. Usage tracking provides data on energy consumption and revenue.
Who Should Install EV Charging
EV charging is most valuable for properties in suburban and rural areas where guests are likely to arrive by car. It is also a strong differentiator for premium properties targeting eco-conscious travellers. For urban properties with street parking, the installation logistics may be more challenging.
Final Verdict
EV charging is an emerging amenity that will only become more important. OK2Charge makes it easy for hosts to add this feature without managing the technical complexity. For the right property, the investment pays for itself through higher rates and occupancy.
