BWH Hotels, a global hotel operator, has teamed with Tesla to bring electric vehicle charging stations to properties throughout North America, with plans to expand internationally, according to a press release.
BWH Hotels is comprised of three hotel companies: WorldHotels, Best Western Hotels & Resorts and SureStay Hotels. The global network has approximately 4,300 hotels in over 100 countries and territories worldwide.
Beginning in 2024, BWH Hotels will begin installing Tesla 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.
EV charging stations continue to become an important element for travelers. As such, BWH Hotels is dedicated to not only creating a convenient amenity, but also the environmental impact they will bring. Through the brand's Earth, People and Community (EPC) effort, BWH Hotels aims to strengthen communities by partnering with hoteliers to provide the necessary tools to enact meaningful change. BWH Hotels is deeply committed to implementing environmentally friendly practices, fostering a culture where diversity is celebrated, and giving back to those in need.
The company is committed to supporting hotels so that they better protect the environment, reduce their carbon footprint, and conserve energy and water. The addition of Tesla electric vehicle charging stations is just one example of the brand's commitment to encouraging and championing sustainable products and programs to ensure responsible hotel operations.
