For those taking a road trip in their new Tesla Roadster, Hyatt Hotels will be providing accommodations for their cars as well as their bodies. Tesla and Hyatt have reached an agreement to install charging stations at their hotels in Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, Sacramento, and Lake Tahoe. Hyatt will provide 220V charging outlets that can charge the Roadsters in three to four hours. The same 220V chargers will be available to Tesla owners for home use. Plugging in to a standard 110V outlet charges the car in seven to eight hours.

The Tesla Roadster to take a 200 mile road trip

It looks like Tesla is about to set out to prove that their Roadster is capable of going 200 miles or more on a charge [UPDATE: the car will stop along the way at a Hyatt in Sacramento to show off the charging capability (and charge the batteries), something Tesla's David Vespremi told AutoblogGreen was the plan all along] with their planned road trip from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe. This trip will take them through the mountains, where the life of their battery pack is sure to be tested. However, with the lack of an internal combustion engine, problems with the thin air up there should not be a problem. Sponsoring the trip is the Global Hyatt hotel chain, who, it appears, is mulling over the idea of installing electric car charging stations at some of their hotels.
