Owners of electric vehicles will be delighted: the terminals recharge made available to them in hotel car parks are, and will continue to be, increasingly numerous. Recently, the Radisson group, one of the most active in e-mobility, announced a new partnership with PowerGo to accelerate the deployment of these solutions across Europe. Following on from an initial agreement with another supplier, Allego, the hotel group's aim is to see almost 300 hotels offering charging solutions in the coming years. Similarly, in France, through its partnership with Engie Vianeo, B&B Hotels intends to equip one parking space in five with charging points by 2024.
The Barrière group is also following the same path. In order to install charging stations in the car parks of its hotels and numerous casinosBarrière has formed a partnership with Bump. A company which has also just been chosen by Avis to equipping its main branches in France. As part of this agreement, more than 100 charging points will be installed in the car parks of 13 Barrière group establishments by the end of the year.
Some of these sites already have them, such as the Barrière Le Normandy and Le Royal hotels in DeauvilleIn addition to the Barrière hotel in Paris, the Barrière hotel network will also be rolled out at the Grand Hôtel in Dinard, as well as Le Castel Marie-Louise and l'Hermitage in La Baule. They will gradually be deployed at the La Baule golf course, as well as in the Barrière establishments in Enghien-les-Bains, Le Touquet, Lille and Menton over the course of 2023.
"Barrière is pleased to continue its commitment to a social and environmental approach. by offering an ever more sustainable experience to its customers"said Agnès Lahana, CSR Director of the Barrière Group. Taking part in the Planète Barrière CSR strategyThe installation of these sustainable mobility solutions is also in line with the upmarket positioning of the hotel-warehouse operator.
The recharging offer is in fact based on fast terminals (22DC) for both customers and valets of these prestigious establishments. The kiosks will be branded in the hotel group's colours, in line with its quality standards. "Bump terminals blend into the Barrière customer experience to support the brand's prestige with customers"commented François Oudot, co-founder and CEO of Bump.
