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.
