Pay-As-You-Go Power: Understanding the €0.65/kWh EV Charger at Hotel Tatenhove
Driving to Texel in an electric car should feel simple, transparent, and stress‑free. That’s exactly what you get with the €0.65/kWh EV charger at Hotel Tatenhove—a clear, pay‑as‑you‑go model paired with the convenience of free private parking and complimentary e‑bike charging. In this guide, you’ll learn how the pricing works, what to bring, when you’re most likely to find a free socket, and how EV charging fits seamlessly into your stay at Landgoed Hotel Tatenhove Texel.
How the €0.65/kWh EV charger works
Hotel Tatenhove offers a two‑socket EV charging station located in the hotel’s free private parking area. The service is billed per kilowatt‑hour (€0.65/kWh), so you only pay for the energy you actually use—no flat fees or time‑based charges.
- Billing model: Pay‑per‑kWh at €0.65
- Sockets: Two; two cars can charge simultaneously
- Cable: Bring your own charging cable (no permanently attached cables)
- Parking: Free on site for guests
- E‑bike charging: Complimentary at the dedicated point in the parking area
This pay‑as‑you‑go approach keeps costs predictable and puts you in control—top up a little before dinner or replenish more after a day exploring the dunes and beaches near De Koog.

Simple cost examples (for clarity)
These examples show how pay‑as‑you‑go pricing translates into a total:
- 10 kWh x €0.65 = €6.50
- 20 kWh x €0.65 = €13.00
- 40 kWh x €0.65 = €26.00
Tip: Think of kWh as the “fuel” your car takes on. Paying per kWh means you can tailor charging to your plans—just enough for an evening out or a fuller charge for a day of island touring.
Availability, etiquette, and timing
With a two‑socket setup, most guests find charging straightforward when they plan ahead and follow considerate charging etiquette. A few simple habits help keep the system flowing for everyone:
Smart timing strategies
- Charge outside peak moments. Consider plugging in when you’re settling in for the evening or during quieter midday hours to improve your chances of finding a free socket.
- Top up opportunistically. If you return in the afternoon and see an open spot, add a partial charge rather than waiting until you’re near empty.
Courteous charging etiquette
- Only occupy a bay while charging. Move your car once you’ve reached your target level.
- Keep your cable tidy. Coil and stow it safely to avoid trip hazards and keep the area neat.
- Share the resource. If another guest is waiting, consider a partial top‑up and finish later.
These common‑sense practices make a big difference—especially at a boutique property where guests appreciate a relaxed, cooperative atmosphere.
