Your charging stations become a profit center.
A hotel or shop that installs charging stations doesn't just do its customers a favour — it boosts its CSR image and stands out from the competition, with passive revenue potentially available in time through GIREVE roaming (integration planned).
In 2025, an EV driver chooses their hotel based on whether it has a charging station.
This is no longer anecdotal — it's a booking criterion documented by the platforms. EV drivers represent a high-value clientele: high-income professionals, frequent business travellers, attuned to premium services. They actively seek out properties that are equipped.
The problem: most hoteliers have tried installing fast chargers and discovered that the economics don't add up. Sparklin offers a different approach. Slow charging stations, matched to actual length-of-stay, at a cost ten times lower, fully monitored and monetised from a single platform.
And if certain spots need more power — seminars, short stays, VIP parking, management spaces — the Spark x go-e, up to 22 kW, guarantees a full charge in under 3h.
Three levers to turn charging into a profitable asset.
Automatic monetisation — zero manual management
You set your rate in Spark Pilot (per kWh, or as a flat fee). Your customers pay by contactless card, via the Sparklin app, or completely anonymously with Google Pay or Apple Pay. Revenue is paid out to your account every month, with nothing for you to do.
Visibility on the major platforms
With Sparklin's planned GIREVE integration, your public charging stations will be listed on ChargeMap, TotalEnergies and the entire GIREVE network. Your EV customers will be able to find your stations before they even arrive — a booking argument that will set your property apart on Booking and Google.
Differentiated pricing by profile
A preferential rate or one included in the room for your overnight guests, a standard rate for passing visitors, free access for your staff. You can also offer premium charging on the more powerful Go-E spaces and standard charging on the Spark Plus spaces — a segmentation your customers understand and appreciate.
