The club needs a policy on the charging of electric vehicles on site for the future, by all means provide dedicated points but this should be on a pay per charge basis, the cost to cover the installing of dedicated points and the power consumed.
We have a point in our garage (installed free) onto our standard mains consumer unit. I do take the point that individual charging points may be less of a problem but if more and more are needed the electricity supplies will have to be upgraded at great expense.
So, a statement of policy will be needed, better earlier than later as I don't believe the Club should be responsible for providing points to cover all possible expectations, especially on the more remote sites.

I assume the question assumes that some motorhome owners will be bringing them soon which seems likely. Most sites do appear to have unused hook ups so on these it would be possible but on others then some investment might be needed. It is something that needs to be considered so wardens will have an answer when the inevitable happens andsomeone asks.
I have not looked into electric cars so do not know exactly what needs to be added.

not sure what commection would be required (blue plug like vans?) but with a lead from the van (with suitable adaptor) it could be plugged in using your pitch supply.
that way, if you exceeded the bollard limit then ypu would be responsible for un-tripping it....
