Why stay in Columbus

Columbus centers on downtown around Capitol Square and the Scioto Mile riverfront, with the University District near Ohio State to the north and Easton on the northeast side. The Short North arts district links downtown to campus. It works well as a base for day trips like Hocking Hills to the southeast, an easy round trip on a single charge for most EVs.

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.
