NEW ORLEANS — Smart Charge America, the first exclusively focused electric vehicle (EV) charging installation company in the United States, has installed nine Tesla Level 2 EV chargers at the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans.
The installation in the hotel’s parking garage includes five of Tesla’s new Universal J1772 EV Level 2 chargers and four additional Tesla chargers. Property residents, hotel guests and others using valet parking will have access to the stations. The Tesla Universal J1772 works with all-electric cars in North America, not just Tesla vehicles. It was introduced in November 2021.
The hotel, situated on the site of the former World Trade Center and International Trade Mart at 2 Canal St., opened in early 2022.
“We want to thank the Four Seasons, LAZ Parking and Tesla for trusting our New Orleans installation team to put in the largest destination charging infrastructure in New Orleans to date. And we look forward to growing energy-efficient infrastructure even more in the coming months and years as our community continues to adopt electric vehicles,” said James Haik, regional business manager for Smart Charge America’s southern region.
To date, Smart Charge America has installed more than 11,000 EV charging stations across the country in residential and commercial locations.
