How our data works

Charging data on booking sites is wrong often enough that we check it ourselves, property by property.

01
Mapped from federal data

The NREL national charger registry, filtered to hotels, is the backbone of every listing.

02
Checked against hotel websites

Pricing, access and conditions confirmed on each hotel's own site where published.

03
Date-stamped

Every listing shows the month we last updated it. Anything unconfirmed is left off, never guessed.
