  • In the first place, an AirBNB host should either: a) have house rules about how any electricity is used, regardless of source; or b) should factor uncontrolled use into their budget and thus expected pricing of the unit.

    An irresponsible guest leaving the lights, TV, and some of their personal appliances on all day could do more damage than charging a car.

    So could an irresponsible guest that sets the AC at 65 all day long. I can say from experience that A/C use costs more than charging my model 3 nightly, especially when I’m home all day and the thermostat can’t go into away mode.

    I generally agree about hotels, but most hotels with EV chargers that I’ve stayed at were blocked by people in ICE cars, and hotels usually won’t make the offending car move. (Not that I’d ever plan a trip that way… too risky.)
