EV charging software for hotels and resorts
Guests charge without friction. Your team stays focused on service. Flipturn handles access, billing, and monitoring for hotels and resorts.
Guest EV charger access without an app download
Flipturn's QR code access lets guests plug in and start charging in under a minute, with no app, no account, and no front desk involvement required.
Scan-to-start access
Guests scan a QR code, enter a phone number or email, and begin charging immediately. No app, no account, no front desk required.
Reserved access for hotel guests
Set chargers to restrict access to verified guests only, open a portion to day visitors at a different rate, or run both side by side. All configured from one dashboard.
Idle detection and automated notifications
When a session ends and a vehicle stays connected, Flipturn notifies the driver automatically. Chargers turn over without requiring front desk or valet intervention.
EV charger uptime is a reputation issue
Flipturn monitors every charger continuously and surfaces issues to your team in real time, so problems are resolved before a guest notices them
Instant support for driver issues
Guests get access to live support through Flipturn's web-based chat, 24/7. Driver issues get resolved without your front desk getting involved.
Real-time fault detection
Flipturn monitors every charger continuously and sends an immediate alert when a unit goes offline or a session ends unexpectedly, before a guest reports it.
Remote diagnostics and control
Most issues can be triaged and resolved without a technician visit. Your team, or Flipturn's support team, can reboot chargers, clear faults, and act remotely.
EV charging as an amenity, a revenue line, or both
Flipturn supports every hotel billing model. Whether you offer charging as a free amenity or a paid service, pricing is fully configurable and billing is automated.
Billable service
Guests pay directly at the charger via QR code. Set kWh-based, time-based, or flat-rate pricing. Revenue deposits directly to your account with no manual reconciliation.
Tiered access
Set different rates for overnight guests, day visitors, and the public. Run all three simultaneously from a single dashboard.
Free amenity
Offer charging at no cost as part of the guest experience, billed to the property like WiFi.
More EV chargers without electrical upgrades
Flipturn's load balancing distributes available power across every active charger in real time, so you can expand your charging footprint without triggering an electrical upgrade.
Dynamic load balancing
Flipturn distributes available power across active charging sessions in real time, maximizing throughput within your existing electrical capacity.
Scale without going back to the utility
Add chargers as guest EV adoption grows. The platform scales from a boutique property to a full resort portfolio without renegotiating software contracts or upgrading your infrastructure.
One view across every property in your portfolio
Flipturn's multi-site dashboard gives operations teams a unified view of charger status, session activity, utilization, and energy consumption across every property, all from one interface.

Role-based access controls
Property managers see their own location. Regional directors see their portfolio. Corporate operations sees everything.
Charger health reporting
Per-charger uptime, utilization, and energy delivered over any time window, with underperforming chargers visually flagged. For a portfolio operator, this makes quarterly infrastructure reviews and hardware replacement decisions significantly faster.
One platform. Any hardware.
Flipturn runs on OCPP, the open standard supported by every major charger manufacturer. Add chargers as your property grows, replace underperforming units with a different brand, and manage everything from one platform without renegotiating software contracts.

Frequently asked questions
What is hotel EV charging management software?
Hotel EV charging management software controls guest access, billing, load distribution, and charger monitoring for hotel and resort properties. It allows operations teams to offer EV charging as a guest amenity or billable service, maintain uptime across all chargers, and manage access policies without front desk or IT involvement.
How do hotel guests pay for EV charging?
With Flipturn, guests pay directly at the charger by scanning a QR code and entering a payment method. No app download or account creation is required. Revenue deposits directly to the property's account. Flipturn does not currently support native billing to the room folio, but properties with a development team can build that integration using Flipturn's API.
Can I restrict hotel EV chargers to guests only?
Yes. Flipturn's access controls allow you to restrict charger access to verified guests, open access to the public at a different rate, or run both simultaneously. This prevents non-guests from occupying chargers that overnight guests are depending on.
How many EV chargers does a hotel need?
Most hotel properties start with 10% of total parking spaces equipped with Level 2 chargers, scaling up as EV adoption grows. California's Title 24 building code requires hotels to have at least 10% of spaces equipped with Level 2 chargers and 40% pre-wired for future installation. A Flipturn expert can help size your deployment based on your specific property.
Should hotel EV charging be free or paid?
Both models work. Free charging positions EV charging as a premium amenity comparable to WiFi, which can influence booking decisions for EV-driving guests. Paid charging recovers electricity costs and can generate additional revenue. Flipturn supports both models and allows different pricing rules for different guest types at the same property.
Can Flipturn integrate with my property management system?
Flipturn does not have native PMS integrations today. Properties that want to connect charging data to systems like Opera, Cloudbeds, or Mews can build a custom integration using Flipturn's API. This is typically a development project undertaken by the property's IT team or a third-party developer.
Does Flipturn support multi-property hotel management?
Yes. Flipturn's multi-site dashboard gives operations teams a unified view across all properties, with role-based access controls so the right people see the right data.
