I wouldn't. The chargers are in the North and South SHORT STAY car parks, and give you free parking for four hours.

What would the charge be for 5 days in short stay (less the first 4 hours).

There also may be the ethical issue of tying up a single charge point for 5 days!

We flew from Gatwick recently, and the charging thing annoyed me. The facility is there, but it's not a huge amount of use - apart from those collecting people.

I completely agree that tying it up for a week or two isn't the answer - but (sorry for thinking outside the box again!) why couldn't their valet parking people provide EV charging in long stay? They have your keys, they can shuffle EVs once they're charged.
