Has anyone asked a hotel/B&B to install a HPWC?

[KJD]

Here's how I got 12 hotels that I visit to sign up for destination charging...
I got in touch with the hotel general manager, asked them to get tesla chargers installed and then forwarded them to [email protected]
Worked!

What state are those 12 hotels located in ?

That AirBNB/Tesla program is awesome! I hope it spreads to oil country in Texas!

Hello folks... Those hotels are in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana

If you can get the hotel's general manager's email address or phone number, I can help

@David29: I'm on the fence about pushing Tesla HPWC's at destinations. While I would selfishly want one, from the innkeeper's perspective he can serve more than Tesla owners by installing a NEMA 14-50 (I *think* Leaf and Volt owners can get an adapter).

Not a standard LEAF thing. And 240V portable EVSE's are all over the map, they can be 6-20 or 6-30 or 14-50.

A LEAF owner (of which I'm one) would have had to have the forethought of not getting a permanent, or 6-20, or 6-30 EVSE initially, otherwise they won't just have a 14-50 EVSE lying around. I'd be shocked if even 5% of current LEAF owners is currently able to use a 14-50 without having to buy new equipment, or knowing they'd have to buy new equipment.

And Nissan dealers don't push or advise 14-50 in any way. I doubt they even know what it is. The dealer I bought the Leaf from last month didn't even know what J1772 or Chademo was - Nissan uses different terms for these. ('Charger' or 'Charging Dock', and 'Fast Charger' or 'DC Charger').

If a innkeeper really wants to support multiple vehicles, he needs to have a J1772 outlet. Not a 14-50.

Tesla understands this, and offers a 32 Amp, Clipper Creed, J-1772, in addition to an HPWC or two in most Destination Charging deals.

In the past week, I stayed at NYLO near DFW that had two HPWC's and a 32-Amp J-1772, and at The Inn and Spa at Loretto in Santa Fe, NM that had an HPWC and a 32-Amp, J-1772. Both of these hotels were beneficiaries of the Tesla Destination program.

It's an uncommon Leaf owner who would drive the car far enough that they would need to stay overnight. Tesla tourism is at least an order of magnitude more common than Leaf tourism. Ditto for the i3.
