How to use the E-flux chargers: a simple step-by-step

Charging at Het Lorkenbos is designed to be straightforward. While every charging station may present slightly different on-screen prompts, the core steps are the same.

1. Park thoughtfully

   • Align your car so the cable reaches easily and your vehicle fits fully within the bay.
   • Check nearby signage for any on-site guidance.

2. Connect your cable

   • Plug the connector firmly into your vehicle first, then into the station if required.
   • Bring your own charging cable if the post uses a socketed (rather than tethered) connector.

3. Start the session

   • Follow the on-screen instructions on the E-flux unit.
   • If any additional steps are shown (e.g., scan, tap, or confirm), complete them as prompted on the charger’s display.

4. Monitor while you relax

   • Your dashboard or vehicle app will show charging status.
   • Use your time to walk, read, or enjoy the facilities—no engine noise, just nature.

5. Finish and free the bay

   • End the session using the charger’s instructions, unplug, and coil your cable.
   • Move your car after charging so others can use the station.

Smart charging etiquette that keeps things smooth

• Share the resource: Move your car when charging is complete so the next guest can plug in.
• Think safety: Keep cables tidy to avoid trip hazards.
• Be kind to nature: Switch the car off and enjoy the peace while you wait—quiet time is part of the Veluwe experience.

Why charging here supports a calm, nature-first stay

Het Lorkenbos is a small-scale, tranquil holiday spot surrounded by forest, heath, and sand—ideal for guests who value peace, personal attention, and nature. You won’t find large parties here; instead, you’ll find space, quiet, and unhurried time together. Children can play outside with free-to-borrow skelters or in the playgrounds, and the team is happy to share tips for beautiful walking and cycling routes.

Charging an EV naturally encourages slower moments—reading a book, strolling along the paths, or taking the kids to the playground—without engine noise. Once your battery is topped up, you can park your car and explore the park and surroundings on foot or by bike, helping maintain the relaxed rhythm that defines Het Lorkenbos.

Make the most of a full battery on the Veluwe

• Wildlife: There’s a good chance of spotting red deer, foxes, and wild boar in and around the park.
