brilliantseas Posted June 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm looking for recommendations for cruise parking in NOLA with an EV (Tesla) charging station. Park, Sleep, Cruise packages for hotels with EV chargers or a cruise parking garage with EV charging would be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyingCruising Posted July 2, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Some New Orleans hotels have a Tesla charger. These include: Sheraton, Loews and Windsor Court. You will have to check with the hotels for their policy regarding leaving a car while you travel. Some will let you do that and provide transportation to the terminal. The Canal Place Garage has a J-1772 charger, if you have a converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted July 2, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't most places not allow you to leave a car plugged in for the duration of a cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyingCruising Posted July 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I can't address what most places do. This is why I suggested discussing the policy with each hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilliantseas Posted December 2, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The general rule varies by property and the type of charger that they have. The properties that use ChargePoint generally charge a fee per kWh until full and then an "idle" fee of anywhere from $2.00/hr. (hotel in Tennessee) to $1.00/min. (Disney World). Hotels and garages that use less sophisticated chargers that aren't a part of a network generally allow anywhere from 3 to 8 hours for charging, although every hotel that I've asked has told me that I was okay to leave it connected overnight so long as I moved it in the morning once fully charged. Still others will only let you use the chargers if you valet the car, and the valets will move it to a non-charging space when fully charged. For cruise ports, I've never left my vehicle unplugged for a full week or longer. I wouldn't be concerned in the summer months, but in the middle of winter, it can lose 3-5% per day due to the cold. Since the cruise terminal garages generally have very low vehicle turnover, I wasn't sure if there was one or more that allow you to keep your vehicle plugged in for the duration?

Desert Traveller Posted September 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I am hoping to drive my Tesla to NOLA and park it while I cruise from there. Did you ever find anything? It will be December so not sure I want to leave it unplugged for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
