Loader app helps hotel owners attract more visitors and add a new revenue stream, by offering electric vehicle charging options in their premises.
Detailed presentation
Loader app connects electric car drivers with available charging stations in hotels, parking businesses and retail businesses. Βusinesses like hotels can increase the visibility of their charging stations, thus creating a new revenue stream for their hotels and offering a unique service that will attract a new type of customers.
The problem
Drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) have no holistic picture of available charging stations and costs in each station. As a result, travelers cannot identify locations (hotels, gas stations, parking business) that have already installed charging stations. Therefore, businesses that have invested in EV chargers are not maximizing the return on their investment. It is essential that these businesses obtain access to an interoperable application to efficiently manage charging stations and attract the rapidly growing market segment of electric vehicle owners.
Our proposal
"Charging station owners, like hotels, can list their stations in Loader app in order to increase the frequency of charges at their stations, offer an streamlined payment system for drivers and keep track of the transactions that occur at their charging station, through a web and a mobile app.
EV Drivers can view and book multiple charging stations in different locations and businesses (hotels, parking businesses, retail shops). EV drivers receive loyalty points when they charge their car through Loader’s network. They can redeem for future charges or other services from businesses that have partnered with Loader."
