Using Hotel Tatenhove’s on‑site EV station is straightforward:

1. Park near the charger in the free private parking area.
2. Connect your vehicle and follow the instructions displayed on the charging unit.

• Arriving late? Note that late check‑in after 23:00 is not available. Plan to check in between 15:00 and 23:00 and disconnect your car accordingly.

How Long Does Charging Take?

Charging time varies. It depends on several common factors:

• Battery size and state of charge: Larger batteries or very low charge levels take longer to replenish.
• Vehicle’s onboard charger: Your car regulates how much AC power it accepts.
• Charging habits: Frequent top‑ups are typically quicker than deep charges.

Practical approach: Top up when you return from a day out or during dinner, then finish your session before bedtime or on your way to breakfast. This rhythm aligns well with a relaxing island routine and helps keep the chargers available for fellow guests.
