[VERGE] Tesla will install up to 20,000 versatile EV chargers at Hilton locations
Renting an EV on trips may not be a drag once Hiltons get more chargers.
[ sourced from The Verge ]
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The project will kick off in early 2024, and the chargers are slated for installation at 2,000 locations in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Hilton states this is the largest planned EV network by any hospitality company.
According to the company, EV charging availability is playing a major role in 2023 in converting searches to stays on Hilton.com.
If Hilton were to pay retail (likely not) for 20,000 chargers, it would spend at least $11.9 million for just the hardware.
Many hotels today either don’t have chargers or only have one or two, and like many places in the US, reliability is questionable.
Almost every automaker (the latest being Honda) is banding together to adopt Tesla’s connector, now called the North American Charging Standard (NACS).
