Integrating with Hostfully opens up lots of great options to improve guests’ experience and increase your revenue. From Hostfully, your properties and reservations flow through to your OK2Charge control panel. You are then able to do things like charging a per-day fee for EV Charging instead of just charging per KWH. That fee can be charged in Stripe or directly within the Hostfully platform. The Ok2Charge system will also recognize “owner reservations” and make the charger available at no cost during the owners stay.
Those chargers are essentially like a firehose of free electricity for your guests and residents. Giving away free electricity for EV charging is like giving away free gasoline. OK2Charge provides a fully automated solution that allows property managers and homeowners to monetize a much-desired property amenity.
A connected charger unlocks multiple possibilities, just to name a few:
- Charger access control linked to the reservation system, all done from anywhere once installed
- The ability to provide guest access controls to the EV charger (only authorized guests can use the charger – no unwanted electrical expenses)
- Flexibility for the PM or Property Owner to define how much they want to charge for EV charging as a daily amenity – pricing based on daily spot packages, length of reservation, or $/kwh
- Energy reporting and monitoring in real-time
- Real-time notifications and alerts if the charger goes offline
- Know charger status and respond to failures much quicker
- Ok2Charge integrates with the most PMSs or simply with an iCal link, as well as smart home systems and energy management systems
- Ok2Charge handles all payment processing and credit card transaction fees.
- Promotional rewards, charging credits, and discounted rates are available
Enel X (JuiceBox manufacturer) is our hardware partner. Their software provides no way to automate or monetize EV charging. When a customer tells them they are looking to install the charger in a vacation rental property they forward the customer to us.
Ok2Charge can ship within one business day of your payment. If you are ordering more than 25 chargers at once, it may take longer, depending on their inventory status.
Yes actually. You can watch Ok2Charge’s webinar with Hostfully to learn more about their all-in-one-solution.
About Hostfully's Property Management Platform
Hostfully products give property managers the tools they need to automate their business, earn more money, and deliver a 5-star guest experience.
The Property Management Platform lets you automate and simplify the busy management operations of running a vacation rental. With award-winning and industry-leading features such as a booking pipeline, channel manager, central calendar, unified inbox with templates, triggers and AI-enhanced communications, payment processing, analytics & reporting, smart home management, and more, you can run your business with less effort and more success.
We connect with other listing sites and OTAs through direct API (we don’t rely on a separate channel manager to sync), making Hostfully one of the most stable platforms in the industry.
Hostfully’s unique pipeline view gives managers a bird’s eye view of their businesses to easily track incoming leads, unpaid deposits, upcoming check-ins and checkouts, manage teams and tasks, and automate operations. Guest communication through our Unified Inbox enhanced with InboxAI, allows managers to quickly screen and send AI-generated responses to save valuable time and ensure consistent, quality messages.
We offer direct integrations with 100+ of the industry’s leading software providers, giving you the option to pick and choose software that’s right for you. We believe that your business is unique—and so should the software used to run it.
Please note that the set up time to import and list properties on listing sites varies. This is outside of our control. However, due to Hostfully’s Preferred Partner status with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, we can track your status and gain faster listing site assistance if an unforeseen problem happens.
