More UK drivers are choosing electric and hybrid vehicles than ever, and finding EV-friendly holiday accommodation is becoming a top priority. At Polmanter Touring Park we’re pleased to provide convenient on-site electric vehicle (EV) charging for both our camping and self-catering accommodation guests.
Each of our luxury self-catering properties includes a dedicated EV charging point, while camping and touring guests can make use of our charge points located near Reception. Whether you’re staying in a cottage or on a touring pitch, you can enjoy a relaxing, EV-friendly holiday in Cornwall.
Find out more about our on-site EV charging, including user friendly guidance.
We understand that travelling with an EV can come with a few extra considerations – especially in an unfamiliar area – so we’ve put together some helpful tips and information to give you added peace of mind.
We’ve had our share of nervous journeys, watching the battery gauge. Thankfully, charging options are improving, with plenty of places for a re-charge en route to Cornwall. We find Zap-map is a great tool for planning your trip.
Cornwall Services, 43 miles from the park, provides 4 Ecotricity sockets; and 30 miles from Polmanter, the Shell fuel station at Carland Cross can offer a final rapid top-up with Shell Recharge on your journey.
Tesla drivers can enjoy a stop at Darts Farm near Exeter for plentiful Tesla supercharging plus a fantastic farm shop (114 miles to go!). The Arundel Arms at Lifton also offers several supercharging bays (70 miles from Polmanter). There are also 8 shiny new Superchargers just off the A30 between Camborne and Redruth, less than 10 miles from Polmanter (Tesla only).
Our closest rapid charging option is St Erth railway station, 4.8 miles from Polmanter. Both St Erth car parks have 50kW GeniePoint charging available.
Located on the outskirts of St Ives, Polmanter is the perfect location to explore West Cornwall. In 10 minutes, you can be on the A30 and heading towards many of the local attractions (and back) on a full charge.
Here are some handy EV charging locations to be aware of. They’re sourced from our own local knowledge and ZapMap / PlugShare. Always double-check via an app or the venue you’re visiting, as charger availability can change.
We’ve also included the distances from Polmanter to help you plan your day out.

We’re pleased to offer convenient on-site EV charging for both our camping and touring guests, as well as those staying in our self-catering accommodation.
Whether you’re pitching up or settling into a cottage, charging your electric vehicle is straightforward and hassle-free during your stay.
We have four dedicated EV charging spaces located behind Reception, equipped with 2 Monta chargers capable of delivering up to 22kW. A charge per kWh applies, which is currently priced at 0.50p.
To start charging, simply park up, scan the QR code and plug in to start to your charge once you’ve arrived.
To stop charging, tap ‘Stop Charging’ in the Monta app, disconnect the cable from your car first and then disconnect the cable from the charger
Please note – it is important to cancel the charge/release the cable from the car first – this will allow the charger to release your cable.
This service is provided and managed by Monta Charge. In the event of issues, chat with support live in the Monta app or at Monta.com
In an emergency, please contact reception.
Please do not charge your EV on your pitch. As stated in our T+Cs, this is a 16amp electric socket intended for light domestic use of a single electric hook up to your caravan, motorhome or tent. Use outside of this can present a safety risk and is not factored into the pitch pricing.
If you already have the Monta app, here’s how to start charging without scanning the QR code.
Each self-catering property has its own designated parking space equipped with an EV charger. Charging is included as part of your stay – simply park up, plug in, and charge.
If you experience any issues, please contact reception.
