EV-Friendly Holidays: Using Tatenhove’s Two-Socket Charger and Island Charging Options

Planning EV-Friendly Holidays shouldn’t be stressful. At Landgoed Hotel Tatenhove Texel, you can arrive, plug in, and start relaxing: we offer free private parking with a two-socket EV charger (pay-per-kWh) and a dedicated, complimentary e-bike charging point. This guide explains exactly how to use our on-site charger, smart tips for sharing the sockets considerately, and simple ways to plan your energy use while exploring Texel.

Charge with confidence at Landgoed Hotel Tatenhove Texel

You’ll find our hotel at Bosrandweg 202, 1796 NK De Koog, in a peaceful location near dunes and beach. EV drivers benefit from practical, guest-friendly features designed to make road trips easy.

At-a-glance essentials

Beyond charging, you’ll enjoy thoughtful comforts that make a car-free day tempting too: complimentary Wi‑Fi, a hearty buffet breakfast included, and a warm welcome hot drink on arrival. Our bar also stocks locally brewed Texel beers, and the wellness centre with sauna and hot tub is available for a supplement.

How to use the two-socket EV charger

Follow these simple steps to get plugged in quickly and safely:

1. Park in the hotel’s free private lot and locate the two-socket EV charging station.
2. Use your own charging cable to connect your vehicle to an available socket.
3. Start your charging session as you normally would; billing is €0.65 per kWh.
4. Monitor your charge level and unplug promptly once you have enough range.
5. Move your car to a regular space to free the socket for fellow guests.

Charging etiquette and best times

• Be considerate: our station supports two cars at once, so leave space and avoid blocking.
• Unplug and relocate when you’re finished to keep the sockets available.
• If both sockets are in use, consider charging outside peak hours (for example, later in the evening or overnight) and check back.
• Never remove another driver’s cable; wait until a socket is free.

E‑bike charging made easy (and free)

If you’re exploring Texel on two wheels, you can charge your e‑bike for free at our dedicated point in the parking area. Guests can also rent bicycles at reception (rental is charged separately), making it simple to switch to pedal power for beach runs and dune trails.

Pro tip: Start rides with a topped‑up e‑bike battery and plan a comfortable loop. With Duinen van Texel National Park beginning about 600 m from the hotel, you can be on scenic paths within minutes. De Koog’s sandy beach is roughly 1.3 km away, and Ecomare is about 2.4 km by bike or car—perfect distances for relaxed, low‑stress outings.
