How to Use the EV Charging Stations

While charging hardware and payment methods vary by location, using the EV charging stations at Groot Warnsborn is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to make your arrival smooth and sustainable:

1. Plan ahead. When booking your room, meeting, or private event, let the team know you intend to charge your EV. With eight stations, availability is good—sharing your plans helps the staff advise on best times and logistics.
2. Arrive and park in a designated bay. On arrival, follow on-site signage or ask reception to point you to the EV charging area.
3. Check in with reception. The hospitality team will brief you on the current access and payment process for the charging stations.
4. Plug in and relax. Start your charge, then enjoy the estate—dine, stroll the gardens, or settle into your room while your vehicle replenishes.
5. Move your car when finished. As good charging etiquette, relocate your car after charging to free the station for other guests.

Tip: General EV prep still applies—ensure your cables and charging apps/cards are handy and your vehicle’s charging settings are configured for your preferred charge level.
