Good to know before you book in South Padre Island

  • All four listings are Level 2 only. Charge overnight and plan any DC fast stops elsewhere along your route.
  • La Copa Inn and Holiday Inn Express use Tesla chargers. Non-Tesla EVs need a NACS adapter to use them.
  • Tesla Destination chargers are often guests-only. Confirm access when you book.
  • Confirm the charger works and whether there is a fee at booking, since none of these list free charging.
  • Rates range from $115 to $349 per night, so compare charging access against price before you book.

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.
