Roam Charging has announced a new partnership with Hand Picked Hotels to deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across its portfolio of luxury country house hotels and coastal resorts.
The agreement will see Roam install and operate 112 EV chargers across 20 of Hand Picked Hotels’ UK properties, supporting guests travelling by electric vehicle and enhancing the group’s sustainability offering. The rollout will span a collection of more than 20 distinctive hotels located across the UK and the Channel Islands, many set within historic estates and countryside locations.
Known for its portfolio of individually styled, heritage-rich properties and high-end guest experiences, Hand Picked Hotels provides an ideal environment for destination charging, where visitors can conveniently recharge vehicles during overnight stays, spa visits and events. The partnership reflects growing demand for EV infrastructure in premium hospitality settings, where guests increasingly expect seamless charging as part of the overall experience.
The ROAM charging network can be accessed easily via the Zapmap app, where payment can be made for charging sessions, VAT receipts can be accessed, and the live status and availability of every ROAM charger can be viewed at any time.
James Randall, CEO of Roam Charging, commented:
“This partnership with Hand Picked Hotels is a natural fit. Their portfolio of unique, high-quality destinations across the UK and Channel Islands offers exactly the kind of dwell-time environment where EV charging adds real value. Together, we’re enabling guests to travel more sustainably without compromising on comfort or experience. As EV adoption accelerates, collaborations like this will be essential in ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with changing customer expectations.”
Roam will manage the full lifecycle of the installations, including design, deployment and ongoing maintenance, ensuring a consistent and reliable charging experience for guests across the portfolio.
