PHOENIX, Arizona—BWH Hotels announced a collaboration with Tesla to bring electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to properties throughout North America, with plans to expand internationally. Beginning in 2024, BWH Hotels will begin installing Universal Wall Connectors at selected hotels across North America. With the recent launch of Tesla’s Universal Wall Connector, the charging stations will be designed to charge any North American vehicle model.
“This collaboration with Tesla underscores BWH Hotels’ unwavering commitment to sustainability and dedication to delivering exceptional guest experiences,” said Michael Morton, vice president brand management and member services at BWH Hotels. “As the hospitality industry evolves, we will continue to blend eco-conscious initiatives with the service, value, and comfort that guests expect from BWH Hotels.”
EV charging stations continue to become an important element for travelers. As such, BWH Hotels is creating EV charging as an amenity and is considering its environmental impact. Through the brand’s Earth, People, and Community (EPC) effort, BWH Hotels aims to strengthen communities by partnering with hoteliers to provide tools to enact change.
Travelers will be able to filter hotel results on BWH Hotels’ website to those that include Tesla electric charging stations (in addition to properties with existing EV charging stations) ahead of booking or traveling to the property.
