We’ve just had a 7kW EV charger installed at Ty Cwch. Guests can plug in on arrival and charge overnight, ready for the next day’s exploring.

It’s been on the list for a while. Ceredigion is a long way from anywhere by road, and the drive here can put people off if they’re weighing up the cost of fuel. An EV charger makes that calculation easier.

Charging at home, or somewhere like Ty Cwch, is still the cheapest way to cover the miles. A full charge overnight costs a fraction of the equivalent in petrol or diesel, and there’s no need to hunt for a motorway services with a free rapid charger and a queue.

It’s also the lower-carbon option. The grid is cleaner than it used to be, and it keeps getting cleaner, so an electric mile produces less CO2 than the same mile in a combustion car, and that gap grows every year. Our supplier is Good Energy, 

This sits alongside the rest of the building’s energy performance. Ty Cwch was built to use less energy than a typical building of its type, verified at 38.6 kWh/m²/year, about a third below the CIBSE benchmark. Adding a charger is really an extension of the same thinking: reduce the footprint of the stay itself, then reduce the footprint of getting here and getting home.

If you’re arriving in an electric car, you already get £50 off your stay. Plug in, leave it charging overnight, and you’ll wake up ready to head out to the beach, the coast path, or wherever the day takes you.

We’ll add the exact connector type and any access instructions to the booking confirmation, so there’s nothing to work out when you arrive.
