Choice Hotels to Add Tesla EV Chargers
The hotel chain will concentrate on its approximately 75 Cambria locations as the target for its initial rollout.
Choice Hotels International has partnered to offer electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla's universal electronic vehicle chargers at the company's properties in the United States, Choice announced Tuesday.
It wasn't immediately clear at how many properties Choice would install Tesla's Universal Wall Connectors, which Tesla introduced in August 2023 and which it says can charge any North American brand of electric vehicle.
Choice did note that 41 percent of the company's Cambria-branded hotels currently offer at least one EV charging station, "and by the end of 2024, all are expected to be outfitted with at least one charging station." The Choice website currently lists 75 Cambria locations.
The partnership allows "Choice-branded properties [to] add four or more charging stations for guests," according to Choice.
Best Western parent BWH Hotels and Hilton Worldwide each formed similar partnerships with Tesla in 2023.
