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.

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.
