    Not sure. Up here, Sun Country is the supplier for a large number of Level 2 public charging, especially at hotels.

    Locally, it's AddEnergie+ and Chargepoint

    I looked at the charging stations at the Mclean Hilton but did not notice whose network they are on what they cost to use.

    We've driven the better ½'s X thru AZ, NV (vegas), UT & CO, besides central & norCal. Even 'moderate' hotels - Best Western type - have installed (non-networked) Clipper Creek/J plugs, besides tesla wall chargers. In traveling - we've deliberately patronized these places in appreciation thereof.
    Locally, we have a couple 5-star joints - St Regis & the Ritz ... both have 2 to 4 wall charger stalls reserved. These places are destinations all by their self .... golfing, weddings, small venue/outdoor concerts, outdoor buffets, shopping, company service award banquets etc. The cool thing - you never plug your car in yourself - the valet service just does it automatically - they seemed to be trained, & ask you if you'd like your car charged. Both Fancy schmancy AND Hoity toity.

    Tesla wall Chargers CAN be set up to run as high as 80 amps 240V. The app - as well as the car, will display the allowable power that the owner's appliance is set up for. The thing is, hotels will be running 3 phase, so their appliances always seem set up no higher than 40amps, on 208v .... ~ 8kW's ... a far cry from the 19kW's some owners set up for at home. But hey ... we're just glad to see so many establishments being forward thinkers!

    Will Motel 6 offer coffee, donut and a charge in the near future for all these new Tesla trucks that will be speeding to 0 to 60 in 6 secs across our great country?

    Hopefully. The less gas burned the better.

    Unlikely as lvl 2 charging is not intended for the Tesla trucks. However, far sooner than Motel 6 will have hydrogen pumping stations for the Toyota trucks :)
    Word just came out that UPS has ordered 125 of the Tesla trucks :)

    Anything can happen when the bubble pops!☔️☔️
    Well maybe Tesla can go the route Isuzu did in the USA and drop the car line and just focus on trucks since they are having such issues with building the Model 3!

    Doesn't seem like you understand business very well. What do you do for a living?

    image.png Well don't think Toyota or Honda are running away from Hydrogen just yet! And big oil is going to be helping the cause now it seems :)

    The costs increase by the square of the service radius until constrained by borders or shores.

    Toyota is testing a hydrogen tractor (lorry) in LA, IIRC. It uses 2 Merai packs.
