Traveling with an EV?
Verify the charger before you book.
Find a hotel with a charger that actually works. We show power, plug type, and whether charging is for guests — and other EV drivers confirm it after their stay. No surprises at the end of a long drive.
“We have a charger” can mean many things
Sometimes you arrive and there’s no usable charging setup—only a basic 230 V outlet, often placed so awkwardly you’d need a long extension cord to charge sensibly. Other times “the hotel charger” is really a public station dozens or a hundred metres away—marketed like guest infrastructure, with no guaranteed bay and no real tie to the stay. Charge&Sleep helps you separate reality from the listing: real stall specs and short driver reports.
What you get
Specs instead of slogans
kW, connector type, stall count, and access rules — before you open the booking site.
Community keeps it honest
Short post-stay reports help maintain the EV Trust Score and surface issues early.
Map plus context
Browse a city or plan along a route and immediately see where an overnight charge makes sense.
The model blends community depth, experience quality, spec confidence, and freshness.

- Stay rating qualityAverage 4.8 / 5
Don’t trust the tagline alone. Trust drivers.
Listings often say “we have a charger.” We show what’s on site, what recent EV drivers report about charging and bay access, and whether real-world power and connector line up with the spec — before you hit book.
- kW, connector type, stall count — visible on the card immediately.
- Short post-stay signals: did charging work, was there space at the stall.
- On-site photos from drivers — not stock marketing shots.
- When signals go stale or fresh issue reports appear, we lower confidence in the score.
How we calculate EV Trust (transparently)
The 0–10 score is a weighted blend of several 0–100 pillars. We’ll tune weights once we have enough production data.
- Community depth — more independent drivers with a confirmed stay increases trust (with saturation so one person can’t dominate).
- Experience quality — average stay rating (1–5) plus, when available, answers about charging working and space at the stall.
- Spec confidence — consistency between declared kW/connector and database data; community photos increase credibility.
- Freshness & calm — newer last signals (rating or photo) score higher; recent problem reports reduce this component.
True time-series availability and operator integrations are on the roadmap — today we prioritise honest driver signals and clear technical specs.

Three quick steps
Filter what you actually need
City, minimum power, connector — the way you really drive.
Compare hotel cards
EV Trust Score, indicative price, charging detail, and recent community status.
Book where you already do
Continue to Booking.com or the hotel site — we give EV context before you commit.
Places with clear EV specs on the card
Not just another hotel directory
Specs before price
Power, connector, stall count — before you even open Booking.
Verified by drivers
Public datasets + hotel submissions + community reports + manual admin check. Not just ‘we have a charger’.
No Schuko bait-and-switch
We flag when ‘charger at hotel’ means a 230 V socket behind reception — or a public station 100 m down the road.
Status that updates
EV Trust Score reflects live community reports — not hotel marketing copy.
For every EV driver — from Tesla to delivery vans
Whatever car and connector you drive — filters surface hotels that fit your EV.
Tesla
Type 2 and CCS2 across EU hotels. Tesla Wall Connector = Type 2.
CCS / Type 2
AC 11/22 kW for overnight; DC 50+ kW when you’re in a rush.
EV vans / Plug-in
Three-phase power helps on business trips or bigger plug-in packs.
Schuko / emergency
230 V (1.8–3.7 kW) — enough for plug-in hybrids or a top-up before morning.
Before you hit the road
Is Charge & Sleep a booking site?
Charge & Sleep is a search engine for hotels with EV chargers. We show power, plug type, and reviews from EV drivers after their stay, so you know whether you can charge overnight. The booking itself still happens the usual way — on Booking.com or the hotel's own site.
Where does your charger data come from?
Public datasets (OpenStreetMap, Open Charge Map), submissions from hotels, reports from EV drivers after their stays, and manual admin verification.
What is the EV Trust Score?
A 0–10 number showing how trustworthy the charger data is for a given property. It drops on ‘broken’ reports and rises with driver confirmations and admin checks.
How much does it cost?
Free for drivers. Accounts, search, comments and reports are free. We earn via the Booking.com affiliate and, later, hotel partner tiers.
Why does charger power matter?
At 3.7 kW (Schuko) you top up 60 kWh in ~16 hours; at 11 kW AC — 6 hours; at 22 kW DC — 3 hours. Crucial when you only park for one night.
Run a hotel with charging?
Soon we’ll help you reach EV drivers who search for specifics — connector, power, access — instead of random clicks.
