Birmingham Airport serves the whole of the Midlands, and the surrounding area — particularly the NEC corridor and Solihull — has some excellent hotel options for EV-driving travellers.
Why the NEC Area Is Perfect for EV Drivers
The hotels around the NEC and Birmingham Airport have invested heavily in EV charging in recent years. The combination of business travellers (who own EVs at higher rates than average) and the NEC's own sustainability push has made this cluster one of the best in the UK for hotel EV charging.
