Roam named the UK's leading hotel EV charging network

Planning a UK break in an electric vehicle is becoming easier than ever.

New independent research from Zapmap has named Roam the UK's leading hotel EV charging network, with more hotel EV charging sockets than any other charge point operator in the UK.

More hotels are giving drivers the opportunity to charge where they stay, making journeys simpler and giving EV drivers more choice than ever before. Whether it's a weekend away, a family holiday, a business trip or an overnight airport stay, charging is increasingly becoming part of the destination rather than another stop on the journey.

According to Zapmap's June 2026 database, Roam operates 437 EV charging sockets at hotel locations across the UK, placing it ahead of Tesla Destination Charging.

Why hotel EV charging matters

Hotel EV charging has come a long way in recent years.

Zapmap's latest research shows there are now more than 4,100 EV charging sockets across approximately 1,750 hotel and accommodation locations throughout the UK.

That means whether you're planning a countryside escape or a city break, you're more likely than ever to find accommodation where you can charge your car.

For drivers, that's one less thing to think about.

Instead of building your journey around finding somewhere to recharge, you can simply plug in at your destination and enjoy your stay.

Charging that fits around your trip

One of the biggest advantages of hotel EV charging is convenience.

Unlike en-route charging, where stopping to recharge becomes part of the journey, hotel charging makes use of the time your vehicle would already be parked. Whether you're enjoying dinner, settling into your room, attending a meeting or exploring the local area, your car can recharge in the background.

It's a simple shift in mindset, but one that's making electric travel feel more effortless.

Helping hotels prepare for the future

Being recognised as the UK's leading hotel EV charging network is about more than the number of charge points installed. It's about helping hotels deliver an experience that meets the changing expectations of today's EV drivers.

Across the UK, more hotels are recognising that reliable EV charging has become an important guest amenity. By working with hospitality businesses to deliver fully managed charging solutions, we're helping make electric travel easier while supporting hotels as they prepare for the growing number of guests arriving in EVs.

Choosing accommodation with EV charging

If you're planning your next trip in an EV, it's worth checking whether your accommodation offers on-site charging before you book.

Having charging available where you're staying can simplify your journey, giving you one less stop to plan and more time to enjoy your destination.

As EV ownership continues to grow, EV charging is becoming another feature many travellers look for when booking accommodation, alongside essentials like Wi-Fi.

Looking ahead

Being named the UK's leading hotel EV charging network is an important milestone for Roam, but it's also a reflection of how quickly hotel EV charging is becoming part of everyday travel.

As more hotels invest in charging infrastructure, drivers have greater freedom to travel with confidence, knowing they're increasingly likely to find charging where they stay.

For us, that's what great EV charging is all about: making charging feel like a natural part of the journey, not something that gets in the way.
