Cyber Switching brings EV chargers to hotels, solving summer road trip range anxiety

SAN JOSE, Calif. August 2023 – Summer is in full swing, and that means it's peak season for road trips. But while electric vehicle (EV) adoption is exploding, only 26.6% of all hotels have EV charging stations installed on their property. EV chargers are becoming a pain point for road trippers looking to charge their EVs overnight at their accommodation, so they turn to booking websites that have filters to find EV chargers for their overnight stay. Installing EV chargers will turn any hotel into a hot spot for the 1.7 million EVs in operation in the US today, and open its doors to a wide and growing market, all while boosting guest satisfaction. Despite these benefits, hotel owners are struggling with the headache of cost, installation, maintenance, and repairs, making it difficult for them to commit to the purchase.

Cyber Switching, the EV technology pioneer, is helping hotels boost their sustainability efforts and lower their carbon footprint with chargers that are affordable and effortless to install. Oaks Hotel & Suites in Paso Robles, California, is a leading example of how a hotel can stay ahead of demand and provide long-term, affordable charging solutions. By having Cyber Switching’s CSE1 chargers on-site, Oaks Hotel & Suites provides potential guests with an additional reason to book a stay.

The CSE1 is a fraction of the cost of other charging stations and is designed with both advanced and dynamic load management, keeping the impact on the electrical grid distributed and balanced. With a manageable charging solution where installation and maintenance are made easy, Cyber Switching offers hotels the convenience they’re craving. 

The CES1 comes in both a single and double-mounted pedestal and features:

• Consistent operating: Find a functioning charger due to the CSE1’s 96.98% uptime

• Cross-vehicle compatibility: Use the CSE1 with any EV on the market

• Powerful charging: Get up to 42 miles of charging every hour 

• Weather-resistant functioning: Don’t worry about the forecast thanks to the CSE1’s operating temperature range of -22 to 122 degrees 

• Easy-to-use app: Reserve, pay for, and monitor charging all in a mobile app 

“Range anxiety is a big factor when it comes to EV adoption, so hotels are the perfect place to start providing affordable charging solutions for overnight stays on road trips,” says Nick Zamanov, Director of Business Development at Cyber Switching. “More and more hotels are looking for ways to lower their carbon footprint and provide sustainable solutions for their guests, and with the right EV charger provider, hotels can effortlessly install affordable solutions that won’t be a strain on a hotel's power grid. EV chargers can become an added revenue source and USP for hotels looking to stand out.”
