Standard wall plug in Netherlands and Germany are fused with 16A (230V) while in UK I believe it is 13A. It is relatively easy to get a 25A 3-phase outlet (400V) for things like power tools or an electric stove cooktop. I was even allowed to install the house wiring and outlet for it, after which the utility company came to switch out the single phase meter for a 3-phase one, no other cost than an increase in monthly pay for the 3-phase connection instead of single phase. But that was many moons ago.
BTW, it strongly depends what type hotel and location, whether guests are driving up or are business men in their rental cars that landed that evening at the nearest airport and picked up a rental to get to their hotel that is typically within a few miles from where the meeting will be the next day, to avoid the risk of ending up in rushhour and getting delayed and tired before the business meeting even starts. Been there, done that. However if you have a Motel 6 for example - there is a reason they are always located right off the exit of a Freeway!

(at powerfactor 1.0) 3phase FTW! ;-) // John _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
