The hotel industry has begun to recognize the significance of going green. In the recent past, several of them have taken measures such as establishing EV charging stations with the goal of enabling electric mobility- Novotel Hyderabad Airport, Le Roi Hotels to name a few. The most recent one to step onto the bandwagon is Courtyard by Marriott Madurai, which has established its first electric charging station by Charge Zone.

The newly installed EV charging station has been designed to help charge two electric vehicles at the same time from 0% to 80% within a time period of 45-60 minutes.

JP Menon, General Manager of Courtyard by Marriott Madurai, stated, “Through this initiative, we aim not only to attract more guests but also to establish our brand as a sustainability leader. Charge Zone, our state-of-the-art fast charging station, has been installed on our property.”
