New Bentwood Inn Amenity Gets Tesla Owners Powered Up

Jackson Hole's award-winning Bentwood Inn (http://www.bentwoodinn.com/) has teamed up with Tesla Motors to provide an increasingly desirable amenity; Tesla Destination Charging.

The decision to add the new charging station was easy, according to Innkeepers Bob and Virginia Schrader, "Environmental sustainability and energy conservation are two of our core principles."

This inn, built in 1995 and constructed using massive 200 year old logs sustainably harvested from the Great Yellowstone Fire of 1988 is rated among the top Inns in Jackson Hole by Trip Advisor after achieving their Gold rating for environmental standards. The Bentwood Inn is the only Select Registry Property in Wyoming and has been recognized as "One of North America's Top Ten Ecolodges" by Outside magazine and Away.com.

The Bentwood Inn joins a rapidly growing network of resorts in Tesla Destination Charging, including more than 160 other Select Registry properties throughout the U.S. This new program provides hotels, resorts, and restaurants around the world with charging equipment, and gives Tesla drivers the freedom to charge wherever they want to travel by replicating the charging convenience owners are accustomed to at home. The Bentwood Inn has one 80A Tesla Wall Connector; both guests and non-guest visitors can charge for free.

"We're constantly finding new ways to heighten the guests' experience. By combining leading-edge technology and the forward-thinking 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," said Bob Schrader.

Tesla's growing Supercharger network (now 400 stations along frequently-traveled highways) has inspired Model S owners to hit the road in increasing numbers. Owners can drive all day, charging for 30-40 minutes at Superchargers and then stop at night to stay at The Bentwood Inn, other quality-assured Select Registry properties, and other locations that have installed Tesla High Power Connectors. Tesla's High Power Wall Connectors add 58 miles of range per hour, topping off Model S's full 265 miles of range in just a few hours on a single charge.

Select Registry properties and other Tesla Destination Charging station locations are located on Select Registry's website, Tesla's interactive webpage, and will soon be featured in every Tesla vehicles' 17" touchscreen through the navigation application to easily plan trips and locate the property.
