hospitality group in Berkshire

Vineyard Group is an award-winning hospitality operator with venues across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Their free EV charging points were draining resources and long property leases limited control over costs and pricing.

They needed a scalable pay-as-you-go solution that protected revenue and delivered quick ROI. Voltshare installed 2x 22kW and 2x 7kW destination chargers with full pricing control and simple management, turning a financial burden into a profitable, guest-friendly amenity within months.

Paul, Vineyard Group
We had a need to replace our free to use Tesla EV chargers with pay for use EV chargers by our customers....and were quickly into complex discussions on lease arrangements and infrastructure.

We now have 10 fully working EV chargers with simple to use management software and reliable hardware.

self-catering holiday cottages in Devon

Higher Wiscombe is a luxury self catering site in East Devon near the Jurassic Coast, far from public charging. Their early free to use chargers became costly as energy prices rose, yet guests relied on them. They needed payments enabled without adding admin.

Voltshare replaced the unpaid units with a single pay-as-you-go charger, removing driver queries and turning essential charging into a managed, revenue generating facility.

Lorna, HIGHER WISCOMBE
From order to install to customer use, this has been a first class experience. The most important factor for us was how easy it is for the guests to use, and that's a ten, there are no ongoing fees, and the additional bonus of professional signage is a real bonus.

The service from the team at voltshare and the recommended installer (best to use if you can as that helps with the grant application) was first class. No hesitation in recommending.

FAQS FOR HOSPITALITY

still have questions?
is this suitable for a single holiday let or small B&B?

Any property with a parking space and an electricity supply can benefit tremendously from an EV charger.

We have installed at hundreds of holiday lets and B&Bs who have seen new bookings, using our ongoing marketing audit and advice.

what are the upfront costs for installing voltshare chargers?

voltshare offers a straightforward pay-as-you-go model: you cover the charger and installation, and we share a small portion of your charging income. No hidden monthly fees. Our friendly team can also discuss grants you may be eligible for to cover the upfront cost.
Prices start from £1,150 (ex. VAT) fully installed, without any grants.

Get in touch for a personalised quote.

how much can I expect to earn in a session?

The space needed varies based on the charger type and quantity, but generally, a charger fits in a regular parking spot. We recommend a free site survey to ensure the best configuration for your business. Our installers will provide expert advice and a customised layout.

can I set a different price for staff?

Yes! Our app's tiered pricing option allows you to offer discounted charging rates to specific users, like staff or loyal customers.

are there any grants for installing EV chargers?

You may be eligible for government grants such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) or other incentives.

how much space is required for the chargers?

The charger can be fitted wherever there is a parking space. They can be fitted on the wall or on a pedestal, depending on your space requirements.

how fast do the chargers charge a car?

With a 7kW charger, you can expect your users to fully charge their car between 3-5 hours depending on their car. This is what we call "destination charging", where drivers park and charge their car for a few hours while they go for a meal, play a game of golf, or overnight while they stay at your accommodation business.

what happens if there is a technical issue?

We provide 24/7 support for technical issues via our helpline - this is provide on the signage that comes with the charger.Simple issues can often be resolved by restarting the unit or checking the power supply.
