Guest charging car using 3 pring plug

Annoyed to see guests charging their electric car by putting charger through our front window to access 3 prong plug.

 

We do not list EV charging as amenity. 

 

Guests wouldn't expect us to fill up their car with diesel so not sure why they think it is ok to fuel their car with electric! 

 

How would you try and avoid this in future? 

A comment on booking instructions/manual ? A polite notice next to the socket in house likely to use? 

 

What do others do? 

Thanks

Make it clear up front in your listing , on any check in instructions and a laminated poster on the fridge @

Hi @Fiona967

 

That's an interesting question! I don't have too much experience with EV charging myself, but I thought I would mention a few Hosts who have discussed hosting guests with EV vehicles in the past: @Cheryl252 @Ben205 @DragonFly-Cottage0 @Kate1651 @Nili23 @Lisa723 @John7759 @Robin4 @Basha0 @Felicity11 

 

Thanks everyone for your insights 😃
