PHOENIX, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — BWH Hotels^SM, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has 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 seamlessly charge any North American vehicle model, expanding Tesla’s efforts to make a great charging experience available to all EVs.

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.
