• Some properties offer free EV charging
• Others may charge a small fee, so check individual listings before booking

Planning your journey

Rural areas may have fewer public chargers, so we recommend topping up at motorway services en route if you’re travelling a long way.

But once on holiday with on-site EV charging at your Farm Stay, you can explore freely without the stress of range anxiety.

Top Rural Locations for EV-Friendly Holidays

Farm Stay properties are perfectly located for countryside glamping weekend breaks, family holidays, and pet-friendly getaways. Not only that, but they usually have off-street parking with plenty of space. Even better with few guests on site, there are no massive queues!

Most Farm Stay hosts live on-site and are happy to help with anything EV or holiday-related.

Top Tips for EV Drivers Staying in the Countryside

Before you arrive on holiday

• Pack your charging cable
• Check if EV charging is included or extra
• Ask about optimal charging times (e.g., overnight on a low tariff)
• If your host generates their electricity, charging during the day can maximize solar or wind energy use

Charging etiquette and safety:

• Unplug once fully charged to free up the charger for other guests
• Keep cables tidy to avoid trip hazards
• Don’t leave charging to the last minute, especially in hilly areas or colder months when the range is reduced
• Have a plan B and use apps like ZapMap to find other local chargers
