Holiday Let & Airbnb EV Charging IrelandCharging that comes with the stay.

Give your guests a charger they can book themselves. It works with the charger you already have, and the app takes the booking and the payment, so you do not need a pay station. Include charging in the stay, or let guests pay your rate. Set the days and hours you offer, and any driver can book in those windows, helping more people charge while Ireland builds out its charging network.

It works with the charger you already have, and the app takes the booking and payment, so no pay station is needed.

At check-outNobody has a record of who charged, or who should pay for the electricity

Everything depends on messages and goodwill.

Holiday Lets & Airbnb FAQ

Why offer EV charging to holiday let guests?

EV-driving guests like to know charging is available before they arrive. A charger they can book in the app, with the price shown up front, is clearer than an informal arrangement, and you choose whether to include it in the stay or charge your own rate.

Should I include EV charging in the stay, or charge guests?

You can do either on the same charger. To include charging in the stay, request a complimentary promo code from De Energy Hub and share it with your guests. They type it into the Have a promotional code field when they book, the booking skips the payment screen, and you cover the electricity. A discounted code takes a percentage off the overall price and the guest pays the balance. Otherwise guests pay your rate. You can change a hub's rate when it has no bookings. How promo codes work.

How do guests see what they pay?

Before they confirm, guests see your rate, the 15% service fee and VAT, and the total. They pay by card in the app and receive an invoice for each paid booking. A multi-day stay is one booking with a start and end date, priced as continuous time from start to end at your rate. How pricing and fees work.

What if I am not at the property when a guest arrives?

Guests book in advance or scan the QR code at the charger, and check in through the booking when they arrive. They can add a photo at check-in and check-out if they choose. You see every booking and who made it, and you are notified when a guest checks in or out. Guests can message you in the app about anything to do with your hub.

Can I book the charger for my guest?

Yes. You can make a booking on your guest's behalf before they arrive. Guests need the app and an account to check in and out.

Can other drivers use my charger?

Yes. Every hub is listed in the app and visible to any driver, including company vehicles and fleets. You set the days and hours you offer, and any driver can book in those windows. On full-price bookings you keep 100% of the rate you set, and opening your charger helps drivers find somewhere to charge on their route while Ireland builds out its charging network.

Do I need new equipment or a pay station, and how do I start?

No. De Energy Hub works with the charger you already have, and the app takes the booking and the payment, so you do not need a pay station. Download the app and create a host account.
