Phoenix, Arizona – BWHSM Hotels, 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.

This collaboration with Tesla underscores BWH Hotels' unwavering commitment to sustainability and dedication to delivering exceptional guest experiences. As the hospitality industry evolves, we will continue to blend eco-conscious initiatives with the service, value and comfort that guests expect from BWH Hotels. Michael Morton, Senior Vice President Brand Management and Member Services at BWH Hotels
