When picking a hotel, how many of you factor EVSE charging into the decision?
Wife and I could plan our trip so that we arrive at the hotel with enough battery to make it to the next Supercharger on the following day. But we would prefer to leave the hotel with a preconditioned car with 100% battery.
I notice some hotels have really thoughtful EVSE implementations - multiple ChargePoint CT4000 stations spread across multiple levels of a parking garage. This is fantastic because the chances of every location being ICED is reduced, and they have enough stations to support 10-12 EV’s. Other hotels went with basic implementations - 2-3 chargers split between Tesla destination chargers and something like a ClipperCreek.
PlugShare gives the impression that many people (majority, even) find the spots to be ICED, already taken by another EV, limited to valet parking, or not-functioning. It seems like a gamble to build a road trip that depends on a hotel EVSE charger working. I thought I would ask; what works best for everyone here?
