Seeing an influx of electric vehicles (EVs) at your parking facility lately? Well, you’re not alone, and the numbers are likely to keep increasing. BloombergNEF predicts that by 2030 EVs will make up more than 40% of all new vehicle sales in North America. With this kind of growth, it’s no surprise many parking centers are responding to this new market by turning some of their parking spots into multi-use EV charging spaces.
That’s great news for EV drivers, but what does it mean for your valet parking services?
Most valet teams have their parking operations honed to a finely choreographed dance, allowing them to run smoothly and deliver impeccable customer service. Adding electric vehicle charging to the mix is another layer of service to manage.
