I have been on a number sites where electric vehicles have been charging via the site supply. This must stop as fuel at forecourts is now reaching £2 per litre, am I and others to subsidies this act. Cost at sites will need rise with the cost of living so please by all means get some company to to put in charging stations for this use and stop this ASAP.

Are you saying you make a point of watching the same EV owners 24/7 to see how often and for how long they charge? Even if they do regularly charge on site, they are paying extra for the privilege and are leaving themselves less electricity to use for other purposes. They face a double whammy but I don't think you can see that so I'm leaving it there.
Posted on 18/03/2022 10:03 by eurortravellerI was reading about a site on the Isle of Wight which only charges £12 a night. Why so cheap? The EHU bollards at each pitch are metered. Visitors can charge batteries and heat awnings to their heart’s content. And pay for what they use.

well actually you can do that too on a club site too so not sure what point you're trying to make? Also what is the amp limit on this site as that will surly limit what to their heart's content can be?
It is only cheaper if one doesn't use any electricity? The overall cost might be even higher than a club site.
As in all holiday, there is accommodation only and all inclusive, one isn't better than another and it would be a shame if everything was the same? Personally i think it's brilliant there is such a range then people can choose for themselves what they prefer out of all the choices?

If you plug an EV into a van you can only charge at 10 amps/2.2 kW maximum and that drops off during the charging process. If there was a pure EV realistically capable of towing it wouldn’t be practical to recharge it plugged into the van you need a fast charger which the Club are slowly introducing.
A plug-in hybrid has a small battery and doesn’t take that much power to fully charge as has been said. Perhaps ten units, £2. About the same as keeping an awning heater on for a few hours.
The real issue is whether the Club wishes to reduce energy consumption and, inevitably, in the fullness of time that means metered electricity. At some point the environmental lobby will be too strong to resist.
