Choice Hotels International has signed an agreement with Tesla to offer Tesla Universal Wall Connectors to participating Radisson, Cambria, Comfort, Country Inn & Suites, Quality Inn and other Choice-branded hotels across the U.S.
Through this agreement, Choice-branded properties can add four or more charging stations. To find a hotel with a charging station, travelers can use the EV charging filter on choicehotels.com and the Choice Hotels mobile app.
“This agreement with Tesla allows our brands to further stand out by increasing access to EV charging for guests and potentially drive incremental topline revenue for hotel owners,” said Dominic Dragisich, EVP, operations/chief global brand officer, Choice Hotels International. “At Choice, we are focused on ensuring owners and operators of our hotel brands are set up to benefit from strategic agreements that drive booking consideration and value.”
Currently, 41% of Choice’s Cambria hotels offer EV charging, and by the end of 2024, all are expected to be outfitted with at least one charging station. Cambria guests rank EV charging as one of the top three sustainability priorities that they look for when booking a stay, according to the company. Additionally, several of Choice’s corporate offices currently offer EV charging stations, including North Bethesda, MD and Scottsdale, AZ.
