The 2026 *Short-Term Rental Tech Index* by **Abode Worldwide** highlights more than 300 technology companies shaping the future of hospitality and vacation rental operations. This year, **OK2Charge** was recognized as a leading innovator in the **ESG and greentech category**, spotlighted for helping property managers turn sustainable infrastructure into a seamless, revenue-generating amenity.

As the report notes, property managers are prioritizing smart energy tools that improve efficiency and guest satisfaction while simplifying operations. OK2Charge was featured alongside platforms like **PointCentral** and **Resicentral** for its role in enabling real estate owners and operators to deliver intelligent, automated EV charging solutions that integrate directly into their existing technology stack.

What makes OK2Charge stand out is its **hardware-agnostic software**—a solution that works across multiple EV charger brands, both new and already installed. Our platform supports hardware from **Wallbox, Emporia, Zerova, Autel, JuiceBox (Enel X), Siemens, ABB**, and many others, giving property owners complete flexibility without the need for costly hardware replacements.

With OK2Charge, operators can:  
✅ Connect and manage chargers from multiple manufacturers through a single control panel  
✅ Offer residents, guests, or employees secure access with custom pricing and permissions  
✅ Automate billing and payment collection for recurring or pay-as-you-go models  
✅ Reduce administrative workload and ensure a consistent guest experience across all properties

> “The 2026 STR Tech Index validates what our clients already know — that sustainable infrastructure and guest convenience can go hand in hand,” said **Eric Broughton**, CEO of OK2Charge. “Our hardware-agnostic software brings charging under one roof, no matter what brand is on the wall, and makes it effortless for owners to provide a premium amenity that pays for itself.”

As the *STR Tech Index 2026* underscores, the hospitality industry is moving toward **automation, integration, and sustainability**. OK2Charge is proud to be part of that transformation—empowering property owners to future-proof their operations and deliver a smarter, cleaner guest experience.
