ELECTRIC VEHICLES – CONDITIONS

  • Charging units left outside are often exposed to extreme weather conditions such as heat/cold and rain 
  • Condition of the wall socket and charging leads – Old wiring at holiday cottages might not be able to cope with the demand of charging an Electric Vehicle.
