Kew Green Hotels has partnered with PoGo, the newly launched ultra-rapid EV charging network, to create 40 new accessible EV charging hubs at hotel brands including Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Voco and Courtyard by Marriott. The EV charging hubs will be in major locations across the U.K. and will have a combination of 200kW ultra-rapid charging stations—the speed needed for en-route charging—and AC stations for hotel guests who can charge their vehicles overnight.
For PoGo, this strategic partnership will add 200 charging stations to its network. The addition of EV charging also supports Kew Green Hotel’s ESG goals and its commitment to reach Net Zero emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Accord Target. As a Planet Mark-certified organization, Kew Green Hotels is taking action to mitigate the climate crisis.
“We are always embracing new ways to positively contribute to the world around us, and we know that our guests are looking to do more too,” Kew Green Hotels CEO Chris Dexter said in a statement. “We have recently become Planet Mark certified and we are committed to making year-on-year reductions to our CO2 footprint. We are taking a very holistic view to make this happen, which includes a number of operational changes and initiatives that give our guests choices to be more sustainable. Providing access to EV charging will not only offer more choice for our guests but partnering with PoGo means we’ll also be able to extend this access into the wider EV driver community, something we are very keen to do.”
