(CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.) – Keswick Hall and Golf Club – the acclaimed 600-acre luxury resort in Virginia’s scenic Hunt Country – announces the installment of two dedicated Tesla charging stations, as well as a third multi-purpose charging station.
The Forbes Five Star rated resort recently installed the stations as a complimentary amenity to guests of the Hall and members of the private, member-based golf club. Additionally, a charger has been added for other electric cars such as the Chevy Volt or Nissan Leaf. The addition of the charging stations will make Keswick Hall and the Charlottesville area an even more appealing destination for conscientious, discerning travelers.
“Preservation has always been at the core being of our company. As the size of carbon footprints has become increasingly important to travelers, Keswick now offers a retreat for guests who are making strides to reduce their impact while making Keswick a natural destination for Tesla owners. We’re delighted to offer one more exclusive amenity to guests of Keswick Hall and Golf Club,” says Greg Sligh, President and Managing Director. “”
According to Tesla, it is now possible for Tesla drivers to travel from California to New England using company’s free supercharger network. In 2013, CEO Elon Musk drove six-days and 3,200 miles in a Model S while spending just nine hours recharging. The new Keswick stations are one of four locations in Virginia according to www.teslamotors.com. A recent Edmunds.com report found Tesla owners skew young, progressive, hyper-affluent and educated.
Last fall, the resort opened its critically acclaimed Pete Dye-designed golf course, Full Cry at Keswick Golf Club. In addition to its golf amenities, visitors will also discover elegant renovations to its 48 guestrooms, world-class dining options and extraordinary customer care.
