Fuel and electric car charging

SB wrote "I asked him how his LPG supplies were going, which was OK till someone called in and asked for a refill then, when payment was being taken, returned to their car on the pretence of getting their wallet, and drove off."

Hopefully he was able to pass the vehicle reg to the police for theft.

The way prices are going the fine for leaving without paying for a tank of fuel is less than the cost of the fuel . . . !

Yes, good point. Wouldn’t be surprised to see pre-payment introduced in some areas.

We tow with a Outlander PHEV we always inform the wardens and pay the £2.00 for charging up per day, a full charge take approximately 10 kWh, however on most occasions nearer the 4 -6 kWh.

We do expect the daily charge to rise to £3.00 in the near future, however when we do plug in the caravans external socket we draw 10 amps of electric, leaving us only 6 amps. For the last 2 year we have not had to switch the Sargent charger on, our 2 solar panel and MPPT controller to charge our batteries.

Our modern caravan is  well insulated and all our lighting LED.

It is wrong to expect other site uses, and those that own conventional fuelled vehicles  to subsidise the owners of EV  vehicles , EV users do not subsides those that  use conventional fuelled vehicles 
It is a one sided , dare i say selfish argument, that does not stand scrutiny

I do not think it is expected that other site user subsidised EV charging ,?but when it come to advising the site staff that "can I pay the add charge as I am charging my EV today" that is where honesty. and saving money can collide

Especiallyl when it has been noted that some may take advantage of the vacant hookup on a bollard 

Site charges will include average usage of electricity.  Charging EVs will increase that average usage, so it will then be passed on by increased site fees , on all those that book a pitch which includes electric 
Expected or not, that mean all owners of non EV vehicle are subsiding EV vehicle owners 

You forget that charging an EV is via the caravan and the 16A supply is all that is available. Person A might use the supply to charge an EV while person B might use the same amount to run heating, air con, electric grill etc etc. What's the difference? Thete's only so much you can do with 16A whether it be car charging or running other appliances.

This will not be a permanent state of affairs as separate car charging points will appear over time.

As an aside, the slow trickle charge provided by a 'normal' supply is only recommended for emergency use when charging an EV as long term use can cause battery damage. Therefore, it is unlikely that EV owners will constantly charge in this manner.

 

They will when on site ,it is not an uncommon site 
An easy answer would be to charge extra  for those who are on site with a  EV vehicle
