Hotel Charging

I drove to VA Beach in March and saw that there was a 120v outlet, just told the manager at the desk that I wanted to see if I could plug in to charge my car... he asked "Oh it's an EV?" and I said yes it's a plug-in hybrid, he said sure no problem.  The only concern I had was that someone would swipe the L1 charger since it was sitting out in a hotel parking lot, but it was fine.

 

For someone that says it takes too much electricity, if they mean cost-wise you can point out that the cost would be under a dollar and offer them a dollar - but if they mean that it takes too much juice and would overload the circuit since there are already parking lights or vending machines/ice makers etc on the same circuit, well then that would pretty much stop things right there.

At the newer chain hotels its hard to find outlets, but older ones I have used outlets, I even ran the LI cord into the room,plugged in and left the door open and watched a Dirty Harry movie. Some guy walked by and asked if I needed a "jump", I said no thanks !  I assumed he was talking about the car...creepy. No more open door charging.

We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. The nice manager allowed me to plug in to the 120 v outlet at the rear of the hotel. It worked out nicely. When I received the text I went out and removed the charger.

 

After I stayed at the hotel referenced above I posted a positive review online for the hotel since they were accommodating - if the rest of your stay went well, you may want to do the same since they were accommodating for you too.

The correct response is "No thanks, I'm married." :hysterical:

 

I agree with Jeff, post a review.
