I recently purchased an Electric Vehicle and I drive it a lot around Southern California (for the record I love it) and have been making choices of lodging based on EV charging availability.
I recently sent a polite message to Hilton asking clarification on the EV charging plans. I would like to ask this forum if there is a list of EV friendly Hiltons in Socal or if you have a list please post it. I will post any reply I get from Hilton on this thread

I wanted to take the time to make a suggestion. My company and I personally choose to stay at a Hilton every market we are in and the experience has been exceptional in 99% of all cases. I hear next to zero complaints.
Recently my employees (and I) have asked to stay at other hotels due to the proliferation of electric vehicles (I own a Tesla, there are at least 30 others with either the Volt, the Tesla or the Leaf) and the percentage is only increasing. What we are finding is that most hotels are unable to answer the question of where we can charge within the hotel parking, whether the valet can charge it for us where there is a valet, where the closest EV charging station is etc.
I hope Hilton hotels can put out a general policy we can use when discussing with these hotels and also if you could address when you plan to make all hotels EV friendly that would help immensely.
For reference my Hilton Honors # is xxxxx
