Holidays with an Electric Vehicle
Want to go on holiday with your electric car?
It’s easier than ever to holiday with us. You can choose from over 100 Eurocamp destinations where you’ll find electric vehicle charging points on parc, with more being added all the time.
Travelling with your electric vehicle takes a little more planning, of course. But it’s good to know that, at your destination, you’ll find electric charging points at many of our parcs.
It’s easy to use Google Maps to find charging points en route to your parc. In the search bar, enter your parc name or address, then, when the map is generated, type 'electric charging points' into the search bar, and the results will bring up any charging stations nearby.
There are other handy apps you can download to find a charger en route when you need one, like Zapmap, PlugShare or Chargemap.
Which countries?
Currently, we have electric vehicle charging points in parcs across eight countries. They are: Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.
You’ll find an excellent network of charging stations en route to your chosen parc, in all of these countries.
Which parcs?
Our parcs offer a variety of chargers, and no special membership is required to use them. Charging fees will vary from parc to parc, and charging stations accept credit/debit cards, mobile payments, and specific charging network memberships.

Things to know before you go
We've partnered with our friends at the London To Brighton Electric Vehicle Rally to tell you everything you need to know for a smooth and hassle-free trip in an electric car.
1. Plan your route with charging points in mind
It’s always best to plan stops along your route and close to your holiday parc in advance. Apps like Google Maps, PlugShare and Zapmap can help you to easily find the charging points you need on your way.
When travelling on motorways in France, look out for "Aire de Service" stops, where you’ll find rapid chargers.
In France and other European countries, some stations offer speeds of up to 350 kW, allowing you to recharge quickly during a short break.
2. Charging on the crossing to France
Le Shuttle offers excellent EV charging facilities for both Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles. These chargers operate via contactless payment and provide speeds of up to 250 kW, if your vehicle is compatible.
Most ferry ports in the UK currently do not offer on-site EV charging facilities, so make sure to top up before arriving at the port if needed.
3. Charging in Europe
Ionity is a popular EV charging network across Europe which uses CCS connections. Ionity does not accept contactless payments, so we recommend downloading the Ionity app before you go for easier access and payment.
There are various other charging networks across Europe, such as Total Energies and Allego. Many of these networks support roaming across the continent, allowing you to use a single app or RFID card to pay, while others allow payment by credit card or app.
4. Check legal driving requirements before you go
Make sure you're aware of and comply with all local traffic laws and regulations while driving in Europe.
France has introduced clean air windscreen stickers, known as "Crit'Air Vignettes," as a legal requirement in some cities. These stickers identify a vehicle’s emissions levels and may restrict access to certain areas to improve air quality.

5. Accessible charging for drivers with disabilities
Many charging stations across Europe are now designed with inclusivity in mind, offering features such as accessible parking spaces near charging points, lower-mounted chargers for ease of use, and wide bays to accommodate mobility aids.
We recommend using apps like Zapmap for details on accessibility features at charging locations, when you're planning your route.
6. Essential tools for EV drivers
Make sure you travel with the right cables. Most public charging points in Europe use Type 2 connectors, and rapid chargers typically have CCS or CHAdeMO cables built-in.
Download apps before you go. Apps such as Google Maps, Zapmap and Ionity provide real-time information on charger availability, speed, and costs. While most EVs have built-in navigation showing charging points, we recommend using a backup app to ensure full coverage.
