More Americans are buying and renting electric vehicles, and factoring charging stops into their travel plans. At many hotels, guests now expect EV chargers…

Guests say some drivers leave their cars plugged in for hours on end after they’re fully charged, hogging the only available charger. Some hotel chargers don’t work or have capabilities different from what is advertised. And no matter which EV they drive, these travelers unite on the ultimate annoyance: ICEing. (For non-EV drivers: That’s when a vehicle with an internal combustion engine parks in a space meant for charging EVs.)…

Some hotels provide free charging. Others require guests to unlock chargers with a room key. Tony Booth, founder and chief executive of Stay-N-Charge, which installs chargers at hotel properties, says many clients charge between 25 cents and 55 cents a kilowatt-hour, for an average cost of between $11 and $20.
