Book a cabin with electric car charging in Sälen - comfortable and sustainable mountain accommodation

Being able to charge your electric car directly at the cabin makes your entire mountain holiday smoother. You don't have to stress about range and can focus on what you came for - enjoying the Sälen. With more and more electric cars on the road, the demand for accommodation with charging facilities has increased significantly in the mountains. With us, you'll find comfortable cabins where you can easily charge your electric car during your stay.

In recent years, the number of electric cars in Sweden has increased dramatically. According to statistics from Mobility Sweden, the share of rechargeable cars in new car sales will have passed 50% in 2023. This development is also clearly visible in the mountains, where more and more visitors arrive with electric cars.

In the Sälen area, this has created a growing demand for accommodation where you can charge your EV directly at the cabin. Having access to charging at your accommodation brings a whole new level of convenience for EV owners. You don't have to go to public charging stations and can instead charge while you rest, eat or enjoy skiing.

Sälen has responded to this demand by offering an increasing number of chalets and apartments with electric car charging. This makes the destination an excellent choice for eco-conscious travellers who want to combine mountain experiences with sustainable travel.

At Sälengodset we offer several high-quality accommodation options where you can easily charge your electric car. Our cabins combine modern comforts with traditional mountain charm, and all have charging facilities for electric cars.

When you choose a cabin with electric car charging in Sälen, you don't have to go to public charging stations. Instead, you can easily charge your car while you sleep, eat or enjoy skiing. This gives you more time for what you actually came to the mountains for.

With charging facilities right at the cabin, you never have to worry about whether the battery will last. You'll wake up every morning with a fully charged car, ready for the day's adventure. This is especially valuable in mountain environments where the cold can affect battery range.

By choosing a cabin with electric car charging, you contribute to more sustainable mountain tourism. You'll reduce your carbon footprint and help preserve the beautiful mountain environment for future generations.

Our cabins in Sälen are equipped with modern Type 2 chargers, the European standard suitable for most electric cars. If your car has a different plug type, you will need an adapter, which most electric car owners already have in their standard kit.

In most of our cabins, you will need to use your own Type 2 cable that came with the car. This is standard procedure and ensures that you always have the right cable for your specific car model.

Electric car charging is an option when you book a holiday home with us. i We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. You simply pay a fixed fee for your stay and can then charge freely throughout your holiday.

Travelling to Sälen by electric car requires some planning, but with the right preparations, the trip will be both smooth and carefree. Here are some tips for your journey:

Along the major roads to Sälen, there are now plenty of fast chargers. Popular stops include Grums, Karlstad and Malung if you're coming from the south, or Borlänge if you're travelling from Stockholm. For a detailed overview of available charging stations, visit our page on Electric cars & charging.

Expect the journey to take slightly longer with an electric car compared to a fossil-fuelled car, as you will need to plan for 1-2 charging stops depending on the range of your car and where you start from. These breaks are perfect for stretching your legs, eating or having a coffee.

Use apps like ABRP (A Better Route Planner) or your car's inbuilt navigation system to plan your route with charging stops. These tools take into account factors such as weather conditions, altitude differences and your car's specific consumption.

One of the main advantages of staying in a cabin with EV charging is that you can charge while doing other activities. Here are some suggestions on how to combine charging with experiences in Sälen:

Plug in your car in the morning before heading to the slopes. When you return after a day on the slopes, your car will be fully charged and ready for any evening activities.

Need to go shopping for food or equipment? Make sure you load up your car at the cottage before you set off, to maximise your range for your errands.

If you're planning a dinner at one of Sälen's restaurants, switch on your car before you leave. By the time you get back, your car will have extra energy, just like you.

Choosing an electric car for your mountain holiday is a significant step towards more sustainable tourism. By combining an electric car with accommodation that offers charging facilities, you help reduce the environmental impact of your holiday.

An electric car powered by Swedish electricity has significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to a fossil-fuelled car. This is particularly important in the mountain environment, where we all want to preserve the clean air and unspoilt nature.

Sälen is actively working to become a more sustainable destination. By choosing accommodation with electric car charging, you support this development and help shape the future of mountain tourism.

Winter driving with an electric car requires some special considerations, especially in the mountains. Here are our top tips for a safe journey:

Expect your car's range to decrease by 20-30% in cold winter conditions. Plan your journey accordingly and keep a good margin when calculating the distances between charging stations.

Use the car's preheating function while it is still plugged in for charging. This saves battery capacity and gives you a comfortable start to your journey without negatively affecting the range.

Make sure you have good winter tyres and the necessary winter equipment. Electric cars often have good weight distribution, which makes for good road handling, but in the mountains the right tyres are crucial for safety.
