PHEV/EV Charging

As with most club prices, well you know what I'm going to say. 

Personally if I had a EV (and it will happen soonish) I'd be looking for either convenience, in which case do it on site, or prices which may be off site.  

I recently spent a few hours, working, at a 300 pitch site near Newquay. The owner said his price is now 50 pence a unit, he expects it to rise again before long and he has taken the decision not to allow EV charging.

He said the installation costs for a dedicated charfger were currently prohibitive.

Interestingly last week visited a “boutique” hotel in Sherborne, again for  work, and they have one charger and the fee is £15.

it may be that it’s assumed people will charge overnight and the full EV in that case probably wouldn’t take much more than the PHEV given the length of time it takes to fully charge from an ordinary 240v supply.

From what I have read about EVs, my thoughts exactly.

Stick to petrol and diesel you won't have a problem with charging.

But you might have a problem getting fuel!

This 'scientific' experiment by carwow might be of interest?

Which is anyone ever nearest to and by how much?

A power socket or a petrol station?

Unless there is monumental  advances in the charging times and battery ranges (distances) for  electric vehicles then i think caravanning as we know it  is doomed.

I’m inclined to agree but battery range does vary with different models of car and charging times depend on the charging point used. See the thread by Chocolate Trees for a real life example.
