Hospitality is built on detail: the plating, the playlist, the atmosphere. JOLT’s premium EV charging belongs in that mix, enhancing spaces with an amenity that is both essential and elegant. From the kerbside to the car park, every charger is an invitation to stay longer, spend more, and return again.
There’s a quiet shift underway in the way people move, and it starts with the need for a meaningful charge, delivered quickly. EV drivers aren’t just plugging in wherever they can. They’re looking for locations that offer a fast, meaningful top-up that fits into their day and adds value to the experience. Even better if a portion of that charge is free. A repeatable bonus that builds habit over time.
That practicality becomes preference. Drivers begin curating their stops, choosing places that offer not just a charger, but a promise of something more to add to their experience. Great coffee with breakfast. A delicious lunch with a beer in the sun. A catch-up with friends or a weekend base for exploring the city. A venue they’d return to even without the EV. JOLT meets that intent, providing the speed and value drivers want while helping them discover venues they’ll want to revisit.
“I can't emphasise enough, the fact that I wouldn't spend a cent at the locations of the chargers IF the chargers weren't there. They take me to places I wouldn't otherwise visit.”
This experience is becoming more common. The average JOLT driver spends 34 minutes on-site, often with a coffee or a meal. Many actively seek out JOLT chargers because of their proximity to shopping and dining precincts, and the impact is measurable. The average driver spend is $29 per session, and 74% of customers say they intentionally choose venues near JOLT chargers. With some sites seeing 10 or more sessions a day, that equates to over $100,000 in potential annual spend. For venues already operating on tight margins, that kind of incremental revenue can represent the difference between a slow season and a strong one, and it’s delivered without any upfront investment from site hosts.
The value doesn’t stop at foot traffic. Every JOLT site includes annual lease payments to the venue, a guaranteed financial return just for hosting. Each unit represents an investment of approximately $200,000 in premium EV charging infrastructure, fully funded, installed and owned by JOLT. We manage every aspect, from install to maintenance, so there’s no cost, no admin, no disruption. With its clean lines, matte finish and integrated digital screen, the JOLT charger doesn’t interrupt the space. It enhances it, sitting comfortably within high-end hospitality environments like a curated fixture, not functional hardware.
“From the very beginning of the process, the JOLT team demonstrated professionalism expertise, and a seamless approach to implementation. They handled every aspect of the project with precision, ensuring minimal disruption to my tenants and customers. The installation process was completely hassle-free for me as the landlord, and JOLT managed everything end to end at zero cost to my business — a truly remarkable offering in this space.”
It only takes 1–2 bays to install a charger, transforming unused or underutilised space into something commercially active, experience-enhancing and undeniably beneficial to the bottom line. Hospitality partners also receive 5% of digital screen time, offering a direct line to promote specials, events or brand storytelling to an audience already on- site and ready to engage.
“Since advertising on JOLT screens, we’ve seen a big increase in our business and the numbers through our doors. We’d never have been able to afford this sort of advertising, their presence is really making a difference.”
And with a growing national footprint and strong app-led discovery, JOLT doesn’t just support existing customers, it brings new ones through the door. Whether they’re charging between meetings or mapping out a long weekend through the Yarra or down the coast, JOLT is how they decide where to charge and where to stay a little longer.
Because in hospitality, every detail counts. From the plating to the playlist to the energy of the room, it’s all curated. With JOLT, your car park can be too.
This isn’t just about EVs. It’s about elevating the guest experience while unlocking guaranteed returns. For AHA members ready to future-proof their venues, JOLT makes it possible from the very first charge.
