Possibly, but in both cases I explained several ways, slowly, and clearly (I think) what I was looking for. In both cases they were completely clueless, as if (and probably so) they had no idea what an electric car was. Now, this was the reservation line and they probably have a very defined set of things they do. But on the other hand these were two big hotel chains. I thought at least after a few rounds of confusion they would turn me over to a supervisor or something. It will be interesting to see if my emails to corporate get responses.

I've emailed both organizations. I realize I can wing it and ask for a 120V outlet, but how is that grocery stores, etc are putting in charge stations and hotels don't? I would think hotels would be the first place you'd see chargers: it's a great perk to advertise, if I'm stopping at hotel - I probably really need to charge, the cost is small compared to the room charge, it makes them look 'modern', etc. SteveS _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
