Why It Matters: This move by BWH Hotels is a significant step in the hospitality industry’s adaptation to the growing EV market. It follows similar initiatives by other major players, including EG Group’s partnership with Tesla for EV charging expansion in Europe.

Additionally, Ford Motor Co F has expanded its charging network, incorporating Tesla superchargers, reflecting an industry-wide emphasis on enhancing EV infrastructure to support sustainable transportation. The growing network of EV charging stations, now including BWH Hotels, plays a crucial role in reducing range anxiety and promoting the adoption of electric vehicles.

Notably, Tesla has also opened its supercharger stations to rival EVs in the United States, a development lauded by President Joe Biden and indicative of the broader shift towards electric vehicles. Tesla’s move to open its network reflects a commitment to advancing sustainable energy and supporting the global transition to electric vehicles.
