Charge your EV or hybrid vehicle

We are now getting more and more guests coming to stay who have got electric (EV) or hybrid vehicles.

A consistent conversation theme with these folk is that they say that they love their electric car. BUT, they are always thinking about the next charging point and that in some ways distracts them from having the absolute travel flexibility that they had with their petrol/diesel car.

Well, we have listened and we have now installed a Zappi eco smart 7kW, 32A type 2 charger (unteathered), for the exclusive use of our guests. 

So when you arrive you can have the peace of mind that you can charge your EV or Hybrid vehicle overnight using our 7kw EV charger and can leave in the morning with a full charge, or not have to worry about charging if staying for more than one night. This means that you won’t have to go out to find an EV charging point – and then wait around whilst the car recharges.

Our charger is a 7Kw Zappi Eco smart unit with an un-tethered type 2 connector.We have a tiered charging system, which will give guests unlimited access to the charger for the duration of their stay with us, up to 4 nights.

1. Tier 1 is for small cars (30-49 kWh) – £25
2. Tier 2 is for medium cars (50 – 69 kWh) – £35
   
3. Tier 3 is for large cars (70+ kWh) – £45

If you didn’t book your stay via our own Doonbank Cottage website but instead booked via any other 3^rd party provider (Airbnb; booking.com etc), then you can book the charger by letting Chris or Susan know.You are given the option to add this extra facility for the duration of your stay during the normal booking process.

NB: Guests with EV cars are not allowed to use a ‘granny lead’ via one of our normal in-house plug sockets. This is a dangerous practice bearing in mind the continuous load on the circuit and could cause a fire or blow the main fuse.
