Holiday cottage with Electric Vehicle Charging - Norfolk
What type of charger is available?
Shangri-la, Waxham, EV charging point in carpark
Shangri-la has an EV point to charge your EV when staying. After a long journey, you don’t have to worry about going out to find somewhere to charge. We have installed the familiar Zappi EV charger, so you need to do nothing more than plug in and get on with your holiday.
What cars are supported by the charger?
There are two types of Zappi charger: tethered and untethered. A tethered charger has a Type 2 cable and plug attached which can’t be removed. This is the type we provide at Shangri-la. It will charge any Type 2 compatible electric vehicle. All modern EVs, with the exception of small number Type 1 vehicles can, therefore, be charged.
How do I book the charger?
There is an option at the checkout when booking to pay for the use of the charger. If you decide you need the charger after making your booking, just let us know. We’ll provide the code for charger, when we send you the other details about your stay.
