What's a Yoink Point?

Yoink Point is a 13 amp socket that lets guests pay to charge their EV.

It uses your existing electrical supply, so it's usually cheaper and easier to install than a conventional EV charger, with no need to notify the DNO.

Ideal for Airbnbs, glamping sites, hotels and shared parking.

Why do hosts need Yoink Point?

More guests are arriving in EVs, and most can charge from a standard 3-pin socket. Yoink Point simply adds pay-per-use billing, so you can offer EV charging without paying for it yourself.

Properties that offer EV charging are booked for more nights and command higher prices than those without.

Stay ahead

EV-driving guests grew by 19.61% last year alone. Offering EV charging can help attract more bookings, longer stays and higher nightly rates.

Affordable

Around £800 cheaper than a traditional EV charger with billing. No ongoing fees.

Easy install

Fits a standard 13 amp supply and can be installed by any qualified electrician, without needing to notify the DNO.

Scalable

Install multiple Yoink Points in one site without expensive electrical upgrades.

EV Charging Solutions for Holiday Destinations

Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming the default choice for UK holidaymakers. Whether guests are travelling in EVs to reach your glampsite or staying for a few nights and want to top up before their next leg, providing charging facilities can be a huge asset, but the type of chargers you choose matters.

Our Team

It started on a weekend trip...

We'd hired an EV, booked an Airbnb, and were ready to explore. Then we realised there was nowhere to charge.

The nearest public charger was miles away, so we plugged into a standard 3-pin socket instead. But it felt… awkward. Should we ask the host first? How much electricity were we using? How much did we owe?

That small moment showed a bigger problem. More and more guests are arriving in electric cars, but charging at short-term rentals hasn't kept up.

So we built Yoink Point.

It combines an EV-rated 3-pin socket with smart billing, making it easy to offer EV charging without digging up your property, notifying the DNO, or splashing out on a full-blown charger.

Simple, fair charging. A way for everyone to take kindly.
