"Installing EV charging was a natural next step for us as more of our guests arrive in electric vehicles. From our first conversations through to installation, the Connekt team made the whole process straightforward and professional. The charger fits perfectly with our venue, giving guests another reason to choose 1885 whether they're joining us for a meal, a wedding or a special event. We'd happily recommend Connekt to any hospitality business looking to introduce EV charging."
Connekt worked closely with the team at 1885 The Venue to recommend a charging solution that suited both the venue and its guests.
The installation included:
The charger provides the ideal solution for guests spending several hours at the venue, allowing them to top up their vehicle while enjoying a meal, attending an event or celebrating a special occasion.
From consultation through to installation and commissioning, Connekt managed the project efficiently, ensuring a smooth experience for the venue.
The addition of EV charging has strengthened 1885 The Venue's offering by:
