EVs must only be charged using a designated EV charge point provided for this purpose.
Where an EV charge point is provided at the property it must:
- Only be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and any instructions provided at the property, following any instructions or restrictions specific to the charge point at the property.
- Ensure charging cables do not create a trip hazard or obstruct access to the property
You must not:
- Use a 13 Amp household socket to charge an EV.
- Run a charging cable through windows, doors or other openings from a household socket to your vehicle.
- Modify, interfere with or attempt to repair an EV charge point or its electrical supply.
- Use extension leads, adapters or other makeshift arrangements to charge an EV.
- Use an EV charge point if it appears damaged or have safety concerns.
Safety
If you notice overheating, burning smells, sparks, unusual noises, damage to the charging equipment or any other safety concern, stop using the charger immediately and contact us.
In an emergency, call 999.
Charging costs
Unless specifically stated otherwise in your booking information or the property description, electricity used to charge an EV is not included in the cost of your stay.
Where an EV charge point is operated through a payment system or charging network, guests are responsible for any charging costs incurred and should use the system in accordance with its instructions.
Some properties may offer EV charging as part of the stay. Where this is the case, any applicable terms or charging arrangements will be explained in the property information.
