ASHDOWN PARK HOTEL TEAMS UP WITH TESLA MOTORS
The Ashdown Park Hotel has teamed up with Tesla Motors to provide an increasingly desirable amenity : Tesla Destination Charging . Tesla Wall Connectors add more than 80 km / 50 miles of range per hour , charging the vehicle overnight and replicating the convenience Tesla owners are accustomed to at home .
The Ashdown Park Hotel joins a rapidly growing network of resorts in Tesla ’ s Destination Charging programme . Tesla partners with hotels , resorts , and restaurants around the world to offer Tesla Wall Connectors as an amenity for visitors , allowing them to charge their Tesla at locations where they want to stay for several hours such as hotels , ski resorts , and restaurants . The Model S offers up to 550 km / 345 miles of range on a single charge , so the High Power Wall Connector ( HPWC ) can easily top off the Tesla in just a few hours .
“ Ashdown Park Hotel is constantly finding new ways to heighten the guests ’ experience ,” says Ben Booker , general manager of Ashdown Park Hotel . “ By combining leading-edge technology and the forwardthinking of Tesla with our commitment to provide outstanding service and offerings , we now have the ability to offer guests a seamless and convenient charging experience during their stay .”
The Ashdown Park Hotel and other Tesla Destination Charging locations are hosted on Tesla ’ s interactive webpage and are GPS located on the vehicle ' s navigation through Tesla ’ s free over-the-air software update sent wirelessly to the car . Tesla owners are able to use the 17-inch touch screen to easily plan trips and locate the property .
