Hilton to Install Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at 2,000 Hotels
Through an expanded agreement with Tesla, Hilton announced this week that it will install up to 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at 2,000 hotels in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Hilton’s planned EV charging network which is expected to start launch in early 2024, would be the largest of any hospitality company.
With at least six chargers at each of the selected hotels, Hilton will become the first choice for the increasing number of travelers who drive electric vehicles. This announcement follows the recent launch of Tesla’s Universal Wall Connector, a product designed to seamlessly charge any North American vehicle model and not just Teslas.
Hilton’s vast geographic footprint of hotels alongside roadways and in key urban destinations across North America makes it uniquely suited to provide charging access at scale for travelers on long-haul trips.
Travelers are increasingly looking for EV chargers when they travel as evidenced by the continued growth of searches at Hilton.com for hotels with charging capability. Many hotels today either don’t have chargers at all or only have one or two. And just like many charges stations in the US, reliability is often questionable.
