Keep Customers Longer. Bring Them Back More Often.

EV drivers actively seek out restaurants and pubs with charging. A 45-minute charge session during a meal means more time at your venue — and more spend on food, drink, and return visits.

The Challenge

What Restaurants & Pubs Are Missing Without EV Charging

🗺️

Missing From EV Driver Discovery Apps

PlugShare, Zap-Map, and Google Maps are actively used by EV drivers choosing where to eat. Without charging, you are absent from those searches.

⏱️

Shorter Dwell Times

EV drivers with range anxiety eat quickly and leave. With on-site charging, they relax, order more, and stay for dessert and drinks.

🔄

Lower Repeat Visit Rates

EV drivers who found charging at your venue will specifically return — making it a powerful loyalty driver without any additional marketing spend.
