ivygo has partnered with Evnex, a trusted provider of EV chargers in Australia and New Zealand, to help hotels, restaurants and pubs make money from the growing number of electric vehicle drivers.
Evnex makes high-quality chargers that are simple, reliable and easy to use. Together with ivygo’s platform, we give businesses an affordable way to install a charger, get listed on maps where drivers search for charging, and start attracting new customers.
Why it matters for your business
Bring in more guests: EV drivers actively choose venues where they can charge. ivygo makes sure your site is listed on Google Maps, PlugShare and other platforms, so drivers can easily find you.
Keep them longer: Charging sessions usually last one to two hours. That is extra time for a meal, a round of drinks or an overnight stay.
Earn a new income stream: Every charging session generates revenue on top of what guests already spend. With ivygo there are no fixed costs, no lock-in contracts and no upfront fees — we simply take a small percentage from each booking, so you start earning from day one.
Stay ahead of the curve: As EV adoption ramps up, chargers will become a real competitive advantage. Venues that offer charging will be favoured by drivers who are deciding where to stop, eat or stay.
The numbers stack up
Take the single-phase Evnex smart charger with the current promotion:
Fully installed promotional price: from around AUD $1,999 (hardware and standard installation).
Usage: Two bookings a week at $5 per hour = $30 per week.
Annual revenue: Approximately $1,560 per year.
Payback: Less than 18 months depending on installation conditions.
And that is before considering the additional spend from new guests who visit because you have a charger and stay longer while they top up.
