How our data works
Charging data on booking sites is wrong often enough that we check it ourselves, property by property.
The NREL national charger registry, filtered to hotels, is the backbone of every listing.
Pricing, access and conditions confirmed on each hotel's own site where published.
Every listing shows the month we last updated it. Anything unconfirmed is left off, never guessed.
