Tesla to install charging stations at 2,000 Hiltons in North America

Tesla to install charging stations at 2,000 Hiltons in North America
CNBC
plans to install 20,000 electric vehicle charging stations across 2,000 Hilton
properties in the U.S., Mexico and Canada beginning next year, the companies said Thursday.
For Tesla, the buildout of wall connectors is another way to increase mass adoption by offering more convenient charging locations. The company’s Universal Wall Connector can charge any North American vehicle model, not just Tesla vehicles. For Hilton, it’s about meeting demand from leisure and business travelers.
“We’re seeing a rapid and steep increase in the number of requests for EV charging. We’re trying to meet our guests’ needs with this new agreement with Tesla,” Matt Schuyler, Hilton’s chief brand officer, told CNBC.
The announcement coincides with the beginning of business travel season, as more executives will be attending conferences such as the APEC Summit, Communacopia and Dreamforce, offering an opportunity for hotel operators to drive revenue. Over the summer, U.S. hotel rates fell as more Americans headed overseas to enjoy time in Europe. This fall, Wall Street analysts will want to see if hotel brands can get business travel bookings in the U.S. back to pre-pandemic levels.
Schuyler says the availability of EV charging stations is playing a significant role in driving hotel bookings.
“The number-one search attribute for our hotels is shuttle access for airports. That’s No. 1. No. 2 is EV charging. And that’s a dramatic change that wasn’t even on the radar just a few years ago,” said Schuyler.

Exactly what they want. All part of the New World Order to force every Western country to use electric vehicles and drive up the cost of living while lowering the quality of living.
I’ve read that nearly half of all UK citizens drive EVs. This country is becoming more Europeanized every day, politics-wise and economy-wise. frick Europe.

We know you joking but that is one of the most LDE moves ever.
The ppl who do it are more lame than myself.

Just returned from a week at a Hilton near Dallas...
Number of Teslas seen in the lot = 0 (sound business move??)

Well, considering they will need overnight charging to go a couple of hundred more miles, they will likely attract telsa drivers.

Nothing turns a baw into a snowflake quicker than a Tesla charger.

Yeah these don't even need to be the fast chargers since the cars will be parked there for 7-8 hours.

That’s literally what they want. The globalists want the US to go along with Europe and adopt EVs as the primary form of transportation. Seeing how electricity is already as expensive as it is, more people owning EVs will drive up the cost of electricity immensely. The quality of living goes down the shitter.

You’re from Los Angeles so I expect you to be a eco-nut activist who supports EVs

10 charging stations per property isn't really a lot.

I am actually concerned about the grid.
But I can't imagine 5-10 slow charging stations at a hotel would be a huge drain. There are nights that those hotels have 20-30% occupancy at best - then others when they are completely full, so their energy use probably swings wildly every day anyways.
