CHARLESTON, S.C., May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thanks to
Tesla Motors Destination Charging program and 170+
forward-thinking, business-savvy, and environmentally-conscious
Select Registry member properties, roadtrips just got easier for
Tesla Model S owners.
The Tesla Motors Destination Charging program gives Tesla
drivers the freedom to charge wherever they want to travel by
replicating the charging convenience owners are accustomed to at
home. Under this partnership, and when all scheduled installations
are complete, drivers will be able to recharge their vehicles at
more than 170 Select Registry B&Bs, inns, and hotels in 34
states and Nova Scotia, Canada.
Currently, there are 63 properties installed, with the remainder to
be installed in the coming months.
Select Registry is the first independent hospitality
organization to enroll this quantity of properties all at once, and
the only group that consists of unique and quality-assured lodging.
Select Registry joins a rapidly-growing network in Tesla's program,
in which Tesla partners with hotels, resorts, and restaurants
around the world, offering High Power Connectors at locations where
drivers have time to charge their vehicles for a couple of hours,
or overnight.
Tesla's growing Supercharger network (currently 425 stations
along frequently-traveled highways) has inspired Model S owners to
hit the road in increasing numbers. Owners can drive all day,
charging for 30-40 minutes at Superchargers, and then stop at night
to stay and charge at a Select Registry property with a Tesla High
Power Wall Connector (this charger adds 58 miles of range per hour,
topping off Model S's full 265 miles of range in just a few
hours.)
"Select Registry members are recognized for providing
exceptional service, unique experiences, and extraordinary lodging
for their guests," said Jay Karen,
Select Registry CEO, "which is why this partnership with Tesla is
so fitting. Offering electric vehicle charging is yet another
high-end amenity and valued convenience our member properties can
offer their guests."
Select Registry properties' Tesla charging stations are located
on Select Registry's website. These and other Tesla Destination
Charging station locations can be found on Tesla's interactive
webpage and will soon be featured in every Tesla vehicle's 17"
touchscreen through the navigation application to easily plan trips
and locate the property.
