How to charge: step-by-step

1) Before you arrive

• Navigate to Garage Kadehof (Kadehof 2, 1234 AB Zilversluis). The garage is roughly a 200 m walk from the hotel along Havenstraat.
• Have a suitable payment method ready. You can pay for charging via a charging card (roaming supported via Shell Recharge, Maingau, Plugsurfing, etc.) or contactless in the garage.
• Remember the garage vehicle limits: maximum height 2.05 m and maximum length 5.20 m.

2) Enter, park, and plug in

• Enter the garage any time (24/7 entry and exit).
• For convenience, aim for level −1. Spaces 12–24 are closest to the elevators.
• Park at one of the 4 Type-2 AC 11 kW charging points. Chargers are first-come, first-served; no reservation is required.
• Connect your vehicle to begin charging, following your car’s on-screen prompts.

3) Start your session and pay

• Start the charge with your charging card or by using contactless payment (as supported in the garage).
• The indicative charging rate is €0.45 per kWh. There is no idle fee.
• While your EV charges, you can head to the hotel or explore the waterfront.

4) End your session and settle parking

• When you’re done, stop the session via your charging card/app or contactless method, then unplug and secure the cable.
• Redeem your hotel parking discount before leaving the garage:
  1. Ask reception for your QR/validation code at check-in.
  2. Scan the code at the payment machine before exiting.
  3. The discount (€4.00 per 24 hours) applies to each 24-hour period, bringing the indicative rate from €18.00 to approx. €14.00 per 24 hours.

Availability and timing tips

• First-come, first-served: The 4 Type-2 AC points do not require reservations. If a charger is in use, consider a short walk along the harbor or check back shortly.
• 24/7 access helps you plan flexibly. If your schedule allows, you can choose times that fit your plans—early morning or later in the evening are often convenient for many travelers.
• Consider session length. AC charging at 11 kW suits multi-hour top-ups and overnight stays. If you need a rapid en‑route boost, DC fast charging on motorways is typically used; for hotel stays, AC is efficient and cost-effective.

Note: Demand patterns can vary. If you're on a tight schedule, starting your session outside typical daytime errand windows may improve your chances of finding a free point.

• For shortest walks to the elevators (and a quicker hop to the hotel), choose level −1, spaces 12–24 when available.

AC vs DC: What 11 kW means for your stay

Understanding the difference helps you plan better:

• AC (Alternating Current) charging, like the 11 kW Type‑2 points at Garage Kadehof, is ideal for destinations where you’ll park for several hours—overnight, during a meeting, or while dining. It’s gentle on your battery and typically more economical than high-power charging.
• DC (Direct Current) fast charging is designed for quick en‑route top‑ups on long drives. It delivers higher power but is usually used at highway stations rather than in city-center garages.

For hotel guests, AC 11 kW usually aligns perfectly with your natural parking time—turning your stay into productive charging without detours.
