Roam Charging has secured a contract to install 170 electric vehicle (EV) charging sockets across 14 UK hotels owned by ProsperCap Corporation Limited (ProsperCap). Roam fully funds the hotel EV charging project as the charging provider. Installation work began in September 2026.
ProsperCap is a real estate investment and management company listed on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange. The contract was announced on 20 October 2026.
A mix of 22kW and rapid 50kW sockets
The 170 sockets comprise 158 22kW sockets and 12 50kW rapid charging sockets. Roam said the installation will significantly expand the charging facilities available to hotel guests, visitors and other EV drivers at the participating hotels.
James Randall, chief executive of Roam, said: “We’re delighted to be working with ProsperCap on such a significant rollout. Installing 170 sockets across 14 hotels gives guests access to reliable charging where they already want to spend their time, while also providing the hotels with infrastructure that can support increasing numbers of electric vehicles for many years to come.”
He added: “The fact that the project incorporates both 22kW and 50kW charging is important too. Different hotel users have very different charging requirements, from overnight guests who may have many hours available to charge through to visitors who need to recharge their battery much more quickly. A well-designed hotel charging network needs to accommodate both.”
Hotel EV charging without upfront capital
Roam will deliver the project through its fully funded EV charging model. The company said this allows the participating hotels to upgrade their charging infrastructure without significant upfront capital investment. Under the model, Roam funds, installs and operates the chargers.
Roam said demand for destination charging continues to increase across the hospitality industry. According to the company, hotels are well placed to support the transition to electric vehicles because cars are typically parked for longer periods. Drivers can therefore charge during a stay rather than making a separate journey.
Randall said: “Hospitality is an incredibly important part of the UK’s charging infrastructure. For many drivers, being able to charge their vehicle while they sleep, eat, attend a meeting or spend time at a hotel is considerably more convenient than having to make a separate charging stop during their journey.”
He also said: “For hotel owners and operators, it is also increasingly becoming part of the infrastructure guests expect to find. By funding, installing and operating the chargers, we can help hospitality businesses respond to that demand without EV charging becoming another complex infrastructure project for their teams to manage.”
Upscale hotels in regional UK cities
ProsperCap owns a portfolio of 17 predominantly upscale hotels with a total of 3,383 keys in regional cities across the UK. Fourteen of these hotels are included in the rollout. The hotels are operated under the Hilton, IHG and Marriott brands and managed by Valor Hospitality Europe Limited.
Weerachai Amornrat-Tana, acting chief executive officer of ProsperCap, said: “We are pleased to work with Roam to bring EV charging to our hotels. A growing number of our guests now travel in EVs, and reliable charging is an increasingly important part of the upscale experience they expect from our hotels. Because all the electricity across our hotels is sourced from renewable contracts, guests charging with us can do so knowing their journeys are genuinely low carbon. This advances ProsperCap’s commitment to sustainability and the UK’s net zero transition, while protecting the long-term value and appeal of our properties as EV adoption grows.”
Roam’s growing hospitality network
The contract adds to Roam’s presence in the UK hospitality sector. In July 2026, Roam was named the UK’s leading hotel EV charging network following analysis of data from Zapmap. The analysis showed Roam operating more charging sockets at hotels than any other charge point operator in the country.
The findings appeared in Zapmap’s guide Hotels with electric car charging UK: What, Where, Who, published on 10 July 2026.
Randall said: “This is another significant step in the growth of our hospitality network. Our aim is to make charging feel like a natural part of visiting a hotel rather than something drivers have to plan their trip around.”
