Travelodge Santa Monica - Tesla Destination
Santa Monica, California
Overview
Travelodge Santa Monica - Tesla Destination in Santa Monica, CA appears in the federal alternative-fuel station register with 3 charging ports in total.
This is a Level 2 site with no DC fast charging. Level 2 delivers a few hours for a substantial charge, so it suits places where the car is parked anyway — workplaces, hotels, long errands.
Connectors on site: Tesla / NACS. Tesla’s connector, standardised as NACS (SAE J3400). The same plug carries both AC and DC, so a NACS socket alone does not tell you the speed — Superchargers are DC, Destination chargers are AC. Most North American manufacturers have committed to adopting the standard.
Tesla Destination operates 754 sites across California, so the same app or card should work at the others.
Its closest neighbour is Cypress Creek Renewables - Tesla Destination, 363 m to the ENE.

About this record
Taken from the AFDC register, which covers publicly reported charging infrastructure across the United States. Home chargers and unreported private installations do not appear in it.
Port counts describe how the site is configured, not whether a given port is free right now. Check the operator's own app before setting out if you are relying on a specific charger.
