Hilton is driving towards a greener future by joining forces with Tesla to create the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network in the hospitality industry. The ambitious plan involves installing up to 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at 2,000 Hilton hotels in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, starting in early 2024. This significant move aims to cater to the growing number of travelers opting for electric vehicles.
Each of these selected Hilton properties will boast a minimum of six Tesla Universal Wall Connectors, allowing guests to charge not only Tesla cars but any North American EV model seamlessly. This development closely follows Tesla's recent launch of its Universal Wall Connector, designed to cater to a broad range of electric vehicles.
Hilton's commitment to this EV charging initiative aligns with the changing preferences of travelers seeking eco-friendly options during their journeys. Evidence of this shift can be seen in the surge of searches on Hilton.com for hotels with charging capabilities. In 2023, the website's EV charging search feature experienced rapid growth, rising from fourth to second place in converting searches into actual stays.
This endeavor not only supports environmental sustainability but also reflects Hilton's dedication to meeting the evolving needs of its guests. By offering convenient overnight charging access in various locations, Hilton aims to enhance the overall guest experience.
Hilton's expansive network of hotels, strategically positioned across North America, makes it well-suited to provide EV charging access for long-haul travelers. The company's collaboration with Tesla marks a significant step towards making the charging experience more accessible and enjoyable for electric vehicle owners.
The partnership between Hilton and Tesla represents a joint industry effort to improve the electric vehicle ownership experience and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles at scale. By installing charging infrastructure at popular destinations like Hilton hotels, electric vehicle owners can charge their vehicles while they park, eliminating the need for unnecessary refueling stops during their journeys.
In addition to its commitment to sustainability through initiatives like this one, Hilton is dedicated to creating a positive impact on both people and the planet through its Travel with Purpose platform. This platform offers travelers seeking sustainability options more convenient choices to reduce the environmental impact of their journeys.
This exciting collaboration between Hilton and Tesla sets a new standard for the hospitality industry, demonstrating how innovative partnerships can drive positive change. As the project takes shape, Hilton's extensive network of hotels will offer an increasingly attractive option for travelers who prioritize eco-friendly travel experiences. The rollout of up to 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall Connectors across these Hilton properties is set to redefine hospitality and provide a warm welcome to electric vehicle owners.
