Global hotel chain, The Ritz-Carlton, is to install electric vehicle charging points at locations across the world, made available to residents.

Ritz Carlton will offer charging for electric vehicles at its hotels all over the world.

The company already has stations at many of its hotels across North America, as well as sites in Barcelona, Beijing, Chengdu, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and there are more in the pipeline.

Ed French, chief sales & marketing officer, The Ritz-Carlton, said: “Globally, we focus our efforts in three areas, of which one is environmental responsibility. Our approach is to merge our global strategy with local perspective – allowing us to integrate sustainable initiatives across the broad range of geographic locations in both remote and urban communities where our company has operations.”
