What if guests charge their car using an extension cord?

Guests sometimes charge their car via an extension cord plugged into a socket, because there is no charging station nearby. This is risky, because a cord that is heavily loaded for hours can become dangerously hot, and it costs you electricity that has not been factored into the rental price. A prohibition sign will not solve this, because the guest simply has no alternative. A charging station with its own QR code and tariff, as Staywatt offers, gives guests a safe charging spot and allows you to bill the consumption separately from the accommodation.
