Factoring in a charging efficiency of 85%, it'd be more like 8.8kW. That would be 74 amps at 120v. I've never met such a 120v receptacle, but I've seen plenty of 240v 50a receptacles. They're usually intended for ranges or welders or RVs. Derate such a recept for the NEC's 80% sustained load rule and you get 9.6kW, so you're good. I would think most motels would have enough main panel capacity for at least a few such bring-your-own-evse receptacles. Whether there's a good business case for it is another question. I can also see many of them tripping over their lawyers and liability insurance agents.
