Accor maps EV charge points across Europe and takes guests on a journey towards greener hospitality
The question, however, is where to charge your vehicle? UK and EU governments are busy rolling out recharge terminals across Europe to support drivers, but there is still a way to go.
So to help travellers on their way Accor has mapped EV charge points at hotels across Europe letting you easily filter hotels by charge units and plan a route that lets you rest and your car recharge.
Hanna Ushal-Rudik, Director Sustainability for Northern Europe at Accor, said: “We’ve mapped EV points Accor hotels across Europe. At Accor we embrace the Slow Travel trend, it is the true spirit of exploration, a wonderful way to travel and discover new places”.
“The way people travel is changing. Travellers are more conscious of the carbon impact of their trip and many are seeking ways to adjust. Accor research shows 55% of travellers are planning to keep their travels in Europe this summer. Hybrid and full electric car travel is perfect for travelling domestically and across borders, pairing convenience with sustainability. Our study showed 69% of people are more aware of sustainability than pre-pandemic and 61% want to adjust the way they travel in order to travel more sustainably; this includes an intent to travel slower travel by rail, hybrid and electric vehicles. We want to support travellers to make greener choices and that's why we've mapped EV recharge units at more than 130 hotels,” – she added.
More than 130 Accor hotels have installed EV charging points in Northern Europe including 29 hotels in the UK, 20 in Germany, 16 in Switzerland, 13 in Belgium, 29 in the Netherlands and 11 in Poland. Charging unites are installed at the various properties from eco hotels (ibis budget, ibis, ibis Styles) and midscale (Novotel, Mercure) to premium and luxury hotels (MGallery, Mövenpick, Swissôtel, Pullman, Sofitel, Fairmont).
