Electromobility is a growth market

In 2022, over 618,500 electric and hybrid vehicles were registered in Germany and this despite economically unsound conditions. Among them the supply bottlenecks for semiconductors and wiring harnesses due to the Ukraine conflict.

• In Germany alone, „hotel with charging station“ for electric cars in various variations is searched for several thousand times a month.
• For 85 percent of e-car drivers, the charging option plays a major role when choosing a hotel.

• Many restaurants are already aware of the potential of the „electric car driver“ guest segment. This is shown by a study of 1,500 restaurants along German motorways.
• A TÜV Mobility study shows that every:r fourth German citizen:in can imagine an electric car as their next vehicle.
• From 2025 onwards, parking spaces must be equipped with conduits for electric cables when constructing and renovating new and existing buildings. For new buildings, the obligation applies from six parking spaces. At least three of the parking spaces must be prepared.
  For existing commercial property, every fifth parking space must be prepared if the building has more than ten parking spaces. In addition, at least one charging point must be installed. Every commercial property with more than twenty parking spaces must have at least one charging station from 2025 onwards.

The advantages of charging stations for hotels and the catering industry

While the nationwide subsidies in Germany for commercial wallboxes have expired, it is not likely to stay that way. Munich, for example, has already adopted another subsidy programme from 01.04.2023.

We will of course advise you fully on this topic as well and find the right subsidy for your application.
