Long drive home and need 200+ miles of range leaving Gatwick?
EV Charging at London Gatwick is an add-on service, not a standalone car park, and mainly makes sense for UK drivers facing a long return drive after flying back into the North or South Terminal. You park in your usual pre-booked Gatwick car park, then pay extra for charging on top of the standard daily rate (/parsingtext placeholder on the booking page usually means the exact price appears only at the quote step).
This EV Charging option links to official Gatwick parking attached to both the North and South Terminal setups, so you pick it at the same time you choose your parking product. It runs daily, covering every day of your trip, so your car is charged while you’re away rather than during a tight return window. Think of it as a bolt-on: book parking first, then tick EV Charging as an extra if it appears for your dates.
Pricing shows in the booking flow, not as a flat figure on the Gatwick parking overview pages, which is why you often only see the /parsingtext placeholder until you enter exact dates. That means costs shift with season, demand, and which car park you pick. For long breaks of 7–14 days, it usually prices as a one-off fee rather than a per-day meter, worth it if you’d otherwise pay motorway rapid rates.
Use EV Charging if you’re landing late from the South Terminal and still have 150–250 miles to drive home, especially up the M25/M1 or M23/M4 corridors where queues at peak times are common. Skipping a 30–45 minute rapid stop on the way back can easily save you half an hour plus a £20–£30 fast-charge bill.
Tip: when you book, screenshot the page that shows EV Charging as an extra and keep it with your confirmation, then mention it at the car park reception on arrival so staff know your car needs to be plugged in while you’re away.
