Good to know before you book in Columbia

  • Confirm the charger is available at booking, since access details can change without notice.
  • Non-Tesla EVs need a NACS adapter to use the Tesla chargers at the Harbison-area hotels.
  • The Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Airport lists paid ChargePoint charging billed per kWh; check the rate before plugging in.
  • Three listings here show free charging, which can offset a higher nightly rate.
  • Only Level 2 charging is shown at most of these hotels, so plan for an overnight top-up rather than a fast turnaround.

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.
