Gateway Centre Hotel Complex in Rocky Mount, NC Adds Tesla Motors Supercharger Electric Vehicle Charging Station to Campus
Rocky Mount, NC (PRWEB) December 02, 2013 -- The Gateway Centre Hotel Complex in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, recently celebrated the addition of a new Tesla Motors SuperCharger Electric Vehicle Charging station to the hotel campus with a ribbon cutting ceremony on November 14th. The Gateway Centre Hotel Complex, which consists of the Gateway Convention Center, DoubleTree by Hilton, Comfort Inn, Residence Inn and Courtyard by Marriott hotels, is excited to offer two universal chargers and four Tesla SuperChargers to guests. Conveniently located off I-95 and Highway 64 in Rocky Mount, the midpoint between New York and Florida, the Gateway Centre is an ideal location for Tesla Motors second charging station in North Carolina.
Tesla Motors is an American company that designs, manufactures and sells electric cars with the vision to sell electric vehicles (EVs) to mainstream consumers at affordable prices. Currently, the Tesla Model S, a luxury sedan, is the only EV compatible with the Supercharger station, which is why two universal chargers were added for Tesla and other branded EV’s. "The tri-county region of Nash, Edgecombe and Wilson counties are in agreement that this initiative is creative, innovative, and fundamental to expose the tri-county region as being open to being environmentally friendly, as well as promoting travel and tourism to our areas," says Kevin Famiglietta, Area General Manager of the Gateway Centre Hotel Complex.
The new EV Charging station in Rocky Mount, NC is open to the public. Located in the parking lot of the DoubleTree hotel at 651 N. Winstead Ave, the EV charging station is easily accessible to all four Rocky Mount hotels. Patrons of Tesla’s SuperCharger Station are encouraged to eat at local restaurants, such as the Texas Steakhouse or Courtyard Bistro, and stay at the Gateway Hotels, while their electric vehicles re-charge. While in Rocky Mount, take in a world-class performance at the Dunn Center for Performing Arts at North Carolina Wesleyan College or explore historical sites on the Tar River Trail or at Stonewall Manor.
