IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with EnviroSpark to make electric-vehicle chargers available to all IHG-branded hotels across the United States and Canada. IHG hotels can now partner with EnviroSpark on EVCs depending on their individual needs and requirements. This agreement will further expand on IHG’s 1,100 hotels globally with EVCs, and meet the growing customer demand for EV charging on the road.
To help travelers plan ahead, IHG has added an EV-charger search filter on its IHG One Rewards mobile app alongside other mapping features.
“Providing guests with more EV-charging convenience is a natural next step for IHG," Brian McGuinness, SVP of global guest experience, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. "Through our agreement with EnviroSpark, we’re providing even more options for IHG owners to install EVCs at hotels while making travel easier for a growing segment of sustainability-minded travelers.”
To help accelerate the EV charging infrastructure emerging in North America, IHG is also supporting hotel owners with an EV charging guide with best practices to encourage installation of EV chargers across its portfolio of more than 4,100 open hotels in the U.S. and Canada.
