How to find hotels with EV charging

How many hotels have chargers

Every station in the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) registry can carry a facility type describing where it is, and two of the codes are Hotel and Inn. In the registry snapshot of October 5, 2026, 2,999 public stations marked available carried one of those two codes, with 11,923 charging ports between them.

That number is a floor, not a full count. Facility type is optional, and only about 21% of public stations have one. More than 1,600 other public stations have hotel words or brand names (Hotel, Suites, Hilton, Marriott, Holiday Inn and the like) in their names but no facility code, so the real number of hotels with a listed charger is higher.

The states with the most hotel- and inn-tagged stations are California (452), Texas (352), Florida (221), New York (121), Illinois (107) and Georgia (103).

What kind of charging hotels offer

Hotel charging is mostly Level 2. Of the 11,923 ports at hotel- and inn-tagged stations, 8,810 are Level 2. AFDC describes Level 2 as adding roughly 25 miles of range per hour, so a car parked for an eight-hour night can gain on the order of 200 miles.

DC fast charging at hotels is less common. 348 of the tagged stations have at least one DC fast port, and most of those ports belong to Tesla Supercharger sites built in hotel lots. AFDC puts DC fast charging at roughly 100 to 200+ miles of range in 30 minutes.

Connector type matters too. AFDC lists J1772 as the connector used for Level 1 and Level 2 charging, and NACS (SAE J3400) as Tesla's. Every public Tesla Destination station in the registry has a NACS connector, and about 1,100 of the 3,918 also have a J1772 connector. Each station page lists the connectors reported to the registry.

Which networks run hotel chargers

Tesla Destination is the largest network at hotels by a wide margin, with 1,455 of the hotel- and inn-tagged stations. All of its ports are Level 2.

Next come Non-Networked chargers (570 stations), plain units with no app or network payment, followed by a long tail of smaller networks. Tesla's Supercharger network has 224 stations at tagged hotels and inns, which account for most of the DC fast ports at hotels.

What hotel charging costs

The registry's pricing field records whether and how much drivers pay, as reported by the network or site host. For hotel- and inn-tagged stations in October 2026:

• 1,911 stations (about 64%) list charging as free, a few of them with a parking fee
• 683 stations list no pricing at all
• The rest list a per-kWh rate or another fee

"Free" in the registry describes the charging fee only. The registry's access field records just public or private, so it does not say whether a hotel reserves its chargers for overnight guests or limits hours. Either can make a listed charger unavailable to a passing driver.

Finding a hotel charger in a specific town

1. Open the town on the EV charging by city pages (for example Cartersville, Georgia or Eau Claire, Wisconsin). Each lists the city's stations and the networks operating there.
2. Look for hotel names and for Tesla Destination entries; where the registry tags a Tesla Destination site's facility type, it is most often a hotel or inn.
3. Open the station page to see its port counts by level, connector types, listed pricing and, where reported, its facility type.
4. For a town without its own page, start from the state on the stations index.

The registry is updated daily for networks that report through an API, but a hotel's own booking page is the place to confirm whether chargers are guest-only or need reserving.
