SEVR EV Portable Charger (10A)
The low-cost way to offer charging: works on any standard outlet.
More guests arrive by EV every year, and 'EV charging' is a filter on booking sites. Here's the low-cost way to offer it.
The cheapest way to offer EV charging is a power point near guest parking, in good condition and ideally on its own circuit, plus a portable charger guests can use. A 10-hour night on 10 A adds about 129 km of range and uses about 23.0 kWh, roughly $6.90 at 30c/kWh. A dedicated 15 A outlet and charger is faster; a wall charger is rarely needed for overnight stays.
| Setup | Upfront cost | Range per night | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlet near parking (guest brings cable) | Existing, or an electrician's outlet install | ~129 km | Many guests don't carry a cable |
| Outlet plus portable charger provided | $183.99 for the charger | ~129 km | Lowest-cost reliable option |
| Dedicated 15 A outlet plus charger | Outlet install + $239 | ~194 km | Faster turnarounds |
| 7 kW wall charger | $1,200–$2,300 installed | A full charge | Overkill for most overnight stays |
The low-cost way to offer charging: works on any standard outlet.
Faster charging for guests on a dedicated 15 A outlet.
If you have parking near an outlet, it's a low-cost amenity that EV drivers actively filter for. A portable charger and a sound outlet is enough for overnight stays.
A full 10-hour night on a 10 A outlet uses about 23.0 kWh, roughly $6.90 at 30c/kWh.
Many hosts include it or set a flat fee in the house rules. Check your booking platform's rules on extra fees.
Rarely. Guests usually stay overnight, which suits a portable charger. A wall charger makes sense for very high turnover or short stays.
