Most destination businesses appreciate that they will need to have electric vehicle charge points installed at their premises at some point, and many are probably waiting for what they feel is the right time.<\/p>\n

While the \u2018right time\u2019 may involve considerations around cost, value for money and the level of technology, it\u2019s also about getting ahead of the game and taking advantage of the extra customers you\u2019ll win from being one of the first charge point locations, before everyone else gets on board.<\/p>\n

But now<\/strong> is the right time, as we need\u00a0to encourage more visitors and also keep those existing ones that visit Cornwall every year coming!<\/p>\n

Here at\u00a0Mr Electric<\/a>, we\u2019ve experienced a record\u00a0year in electric vehicle charge point installations, and in recent weeks we have been busy preparing quotes for lots of destination businesses, and in particular, hotels, guest houses and B&B’s.<\/p>\n

Electric vehicle charge points for company car drivers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Government recently announced that company car drivers choosing pure electric vehicles will pay\u00a0no benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax at all for 2020\/2021\u00a0\u2013 news which is likely to accelerate electric company car use even more.<\/p>\n

This news, along with the other almost daily developments that will increase uptake of electric vehicles, means those hotels, restaurants, conference centres and destination businesses which take the plunge now, can expect to reap the rewards.<\/p>\n

It means even more people will soon be looking for electric vehicle charge points when deciding where to eat, where to stay and where to visit.<\/p>\n

The BIK announcement is expected to increase the number of businesses which make the switch to electric vehicles for their fleets, so anyone travelling for business or pleasure will also be looking for hotels and restaurants with charging facilities.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be long before all hotels, B&Bs and guest houses have charging facilities, so now is the time to stand out and win new customers who are searching for accommodation, based purely on whether they have electric charge facilities. (A bit like those who had WIFI all those years ago before it became the norm!)<\/p>\n
