    BWH Hotels will start installing Tesla's Universal Wall Connectors at selected hotels across North America, starting next year.

    Tesla recently launched its Universal Wall Connector, which will allow the stations to charge any North American electric vehicle motel. The company’s North American charging standard (NACS) is being adopted by numerous automakers across the continent.

     "This collaboration with Tesla underscores BWH Hotels' unwavering commitment to sustainability and dedication to delivering exceptional guest experiences," said Michael Morton, Vice President Brand Management and Member Services at BWH Hotels, in a statement. "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."

    BWH Hotels' website will help travelers filter hotel results comprising of Tesla electric charging stations with existing EV charging stations properties before booking or traveling to the property.

    BWH Hotels is a global network comprised of three hotel companies--WorldHotels, Best Western and SureStay Hotels. The group has more than 4,300 hotels across the world in more than 100 countries and territories.

    Earlier this year, Tesla announced it would install nearly 20,000 EV wall connectors at 2,000 Hilton hotels in North America.
