Enhancing guest experience with electric vehicle charging facilities
Castlemartyr Resort, a luxurious five-star hotel in Cork, Ireland, is set in an 18th-century manor house nestled within 220 acres of mature parkland and lakes. Offering three dining options, a gymnasium, spa, and an 18-hole golf course, the resort aims to provide guests with the best amenities and experiences. As part of their commitment to sustainability and becoming net zero, Castlemartyr Resort sought to install electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities for its guests.
The Challenge.
The resort aimed to install EV chargepoints to attract more guests and enhance the experience for their growing population of electric vehicle owners. The challenge was to complete the installation between 9am and 5pm to avoid disrupting guests’ stays while also ensuring the chargepoints were futureproof and well-positioned.
The Solution.
eEnergy provided a comprehensive solution, funding, supplying, and installing four 22kW fast chargers at the hotel. Additionally, they installed extra infrastructure for further chargers to be added in early 2023. This approach reduced future disruption when installing more chargepoints.
The extensive civil works required to position the chargepoints according to the client’s preference were also carried out seamlessly.
The Results.
Castlemartyr Resort was delighted with the outcome. They now have access to eEnergy’s eCharge software, which allows them to set tariffs for various user groups such as staff, visitors, and the public. This system provides full control over the electrical infrastructure by restricting access, setting charging hours, and offering live updates on charge status, consumption, and CO2 savings.
Conclusion.
By partnering with eEnergy, Castlemartyr Resort took a significant step towards sustainability and enhancing their guest experience. The new EV charging facilities not only futureproof their business but also contribute to their green credentials and net-zero journey.
