    Hilton Adding EV Charging to Over 2,000 Hotels in North America

      In an expanded agreement, Hilton will install at least six Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at each eligible location.

    Hilton has announced that they will install up to 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at 2,000 hotels across North America, creating the largest EV charging network in the hotel industry.  The project will start in early 2024 and include at least six chargers at each selected hotel. Hilton says that customers are increasingly searching for EV charging at their hotels, with the charging availability filter being the second highest attribute that converts a search to a booking. For Hilton, allowing EV owners to charge where they park means no unnecessary stops along their journey and that adds value to Hilton's product.

    The Tesla Universal Wall Connector natively supports both NACS and J1772 type plugs, covering the vast majority of the new EV market, however, owners of older EVs with CHAdeMO or the Nissan Leaf will not be able to use these chargers. Using a standard 220-volt / 48-amp circuit, the 11.5 kW Tesla Universal Wall Connector can charge a Tesla Model-3 up to a rate of 44 miles of range per hour.

    When set up in groups of six, the Tesla Universal Wall Connector is capable of managing access, allowing locations to monitor when and who is using the charging stations.

    Our take: Building a charging network at locations where people naturally spend a significant time parked brings in additional customers who might otherwise go elsewhere.

    Have to imagine that in a few weeks we'll hear about Marriot hotels doing the same thing.

    Tesla is going to run the biggest "gas station" network in the country, and they are doing it on other people's real estate compared to the high priced real estate that gas stations pay for.

    • I'm sure PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP isn't looking to go under with/for them. I couldn't imagine any accounting/auditing firm would be willing to put their life at stake over allowing fraud to happen under their oversight, but there's always a chance. I should clarify. I'm not trying to say they're clean of any wrongdoing. I'm just saying I couldn't imagine a company committing fraud that's comparable to Enron ever again, because of the measures that were put in place BECAUSE of Encon.  I guess with David never saying anything positive about Tesla, it would be advantageous for him to continue to trash them while he's trying to short a stock.  Buuuuut, it would be really smart of him to bet against the company in which he supposedly believes will fail. 
    • Interesting and thoughtful on streets and fire departments...  
    • A much shorter Musk/Tesla video, gives you some flavor of the longer video.
    • So I have to disclose the back ally sexual encounter with a Toyota employee that was the issue behind all of my anti Ford posts here? Shocking that we actually have enforced ethics agreements, the rest of the country seems adept at ignoring them. They may not go bankrupt right away, they do things like Energy Storage and the like that generates cash. And there is a federal pipeline of cash into Tesla.
    • Interesting, like this take... As far as Tesla goes, Thunderfoot has great YouTube videos.  I have posted this one before, but he has a ton. All of the Musk/Tesla ethics issues are wayyy out in the open, you pretty much have to be willingly blind to ignore them.   I may have posted this a long time ago, but it really shows how some folks go way out of their way to avoid reality. This is a response to the reality denying Musk/Tesla fanbois. I consider CCAP 41 to be very rational and this is not a direct response to him.
