To encourage more hosts to install chargers, the online platform has partnered with ChargePoint.
The future may bring about an increase in the number of Airbnb homes that provide electric vehicle lodging. According to Business Wire, the web platform is forming a partnership with ChargePoint in order to encourage more Airbnb hosts to install electric vehicle chargers. Because of the cooperation, Airbnb hosts will have the opportunity to save money and gain access to a special ChargePoint bundle.
The company ChargePoint is offering Airbnb hosts a discount of 25 percent on whatever charger they choose, in addition to a discount of $100 off installation fees. The price of chargers begins at $399, which means that purchasers will receive a discount of at least $100 on that purchase alone. Nevertheless, the installation bargain is only accessible through the Airbnb page on ChargePoint’s website, and it cannot be acquired through any other means. Additionally, Airbnb is providing an additional $200 off of charging hardware for the first one thousand hosts who place an order with the company.
The relationship has the potential to bring about increased success for the hosts. From 2022 to 2023, the number of searches conducted by Airbnb for properties that were equipped with electric vehicle chargers climbed by more than 80 percent. It also asserts that listings that include electric vehicle chargers receive, on average, a higher amount of income and nights booked than those that do not have one.
