Many owners treat an on-site charger as one of the first filters when booking a stay, and some say they'd pay $20-40 more a night for it. The appeal is practical: waking up to a full battery means skipping pricier public fast charging the next day. It matters most in remote areas, where the nearest fast charger can be a long detour and even a slow plug is enough.
A listed charger doesn't guarantee a usable one. Owners reported plugs blocked by gas cars with staff unwilling to act, every stall full for a whole day, and a network demanding a non-refundable $20 top-up before it would start a session. Checking the charger's status and payment terms before booking seems worthwhile.
