The Bayview Hotel is proud to become the first hotel in Northern Ireland to install destination charging points for Tesla Electric Vehicles.
This is part of our bid to reduce our carbon footprint and to enable and encourage EV owners to access more of Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland,
without having to worry about where the nearest charging point is.
We have installed 2 Tesla charging points and one EV charging point where guests can park overnight and whilst recharging themselves with an overnight
stay can also rest easy that their EV's will be fully charged in the morning, allowing the road trip to continue!
Trends are always evolving and with the UK government announcing a ban on the sale of new petrol & diesel vehicles by 2040 the car industry will change
drastically including how we as drivers travel. Other European countries have similar announcements in place with introductions announced prior
to the UK 2040 timescale.
Travel and Tourism is increasing, with visitors using all modes of transport to enjoy this part of the world, we feel it is vital that we do not restrict
any traveler and hope that the installation of these charging ports will encourage and connect people from all over to visit Northern Ireland, the
UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Of course, this announcement will have many unanswered questions but one thing is for sure, that we will see an increase in both hybrid & electric
vehicles on our roads in the forthcoming years.
