Good to know before you book in Palo Alto

  • The Tesla Destination chargers here often serve hotel guests only; confirm access when you book.
  • Non-Tesla EVs need a NACS adapter to use the Tesla chargers on these listings.
  • All charging listed here is Level 2, so charge overnight rather than expecting a quick top-up.
  • Confirm the number of connectors and their availability with the hotel before arrival.
  • For DC fast charging, plan a public stop, since none of these listings show it on site.

How our data works

Booking sites get charging wrong often enough that we don't take it from them. Every charger here is mapped from a public registry and tied to the property itself.

01
Mapped from public data

National charger registries, filtered to hotels, are the backbone of every listing.

02
Matched station to property

A charger counts only when it sits at the hotel: within 60 metres, or 150 with a matching name.

03
Date-stamped

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