Parking host electricity and charging cost: define the EV offer before booking
Offering electricity or EV charging with a parking space adds a second service to the listing. “Charging available” can mean a dedicated charger, a household socket, a cable supplied by the driver, or nothing more than access to a nearby public point. Define the offer before accepting a booking.
Describe the equipment
Record the connector, cable responsibility, power limit, socket location, weather protection, and whether the car can remain connected for the whole booking. The EV host checklist and electric-car parking guide help separate charging facts from assumptions. Never promise a charging speed you have not measured or a circuit that has not been approved for the use.
Explain whether electricity is included, priced separately, or unavailable when the space is full. If a meter, app, or manual reading is involved, say who records it and when. Keep extension cables, trip hazards, and household access out of the driver's way; close the offer if rain, damage, or a fault makes it unsafe.
Set a stop and support path
Tell the driver what to do if the charger fails, the battery reaches the requested level, or the booking needs to run longer. A host should not ask a driver to reset an electrical panel or enter a private room. Keep the vehicle-fit and gate rules visible alongside the charging information.
Reliable EV supply is precise: the driver knows what is available, what it costs, and when charging ends. Confirm the electrical and tax details appropriate to the property before turning the feature into a promise.
