Charging electric cars on Club sites.

Nevertheless, it is going to happen that petrol and diesel vehicles will become obsolete and when that happens everyone will have to convert to EV whether they like it or not. When that happens, all caravanners will have EVs that will need to be charged overnight through their caravan electric. If they don't, they'll have no power to run their cars to do their shopping, visiting places, visiting friends and family etc. Furthermore, without electric power, they'll be unable to tow their caravan either to or from club sites.

It will eventually be necessary for your own convenience, when petrol and diesel become obsolete!

10 amps would not satisfy the requirements of modern caravan usage. The future may mean a higher than 16 amp bollards will need to be installed!

10 amp should be ample of holiday usage, a holiday is time to be out and about enjoying yourself, a time to sit and read, play games, talk, not to sit for hours watching TV, computer / iPad and any other gizmos therefore 10 amps is sufficient for the caravaner on holiday.

Before that happens the government will have to make big changes. Charging points will have to be placed in parking area, schools, hospitals, airports, not just 1 or 2 but thousands. Small towns and villages will have to have them installed so that people unable to charge them up at home can have charging points.

Once all vehicles has been charged to electricity, then the fun will start. The tax the government  are getting from fuel will have to be recouped from somewhere else, so the price of electricity will rocket, so then the cost of heating the home will mean that some will be Unable afford to.

I have yet to be convinced that plug in EV is the way forward. It is fine for short journeys around town, but unless we significantly change the way we work, or develop much more efficient batteries / charging, will never replace the internal combustion engine. My son for instance travels thousands of miles a year. Often 400 miles a day.

Perhaps the FCV may have a part to play, particularly where longer journeys are concerned.

Agree SteveL, a lot more research and development needs to be made before total use of EV can be achieved. Rural areas have  totally driving needs to a city, Lorries, planes, tractors and other heavy working vehicles needs are different to a car. A person who travels say 15 miles to work on a flat road, will be different to someone who travels up an down hills, congested stop start roads.

We are successfully using our EV for short and long distances. There undoubtedly will be further developments. Some early EV developments have failed. There have also been production problems. Some manufacturers are getting ahead now. A couple of days ago we parked up locally to do some shopping alongside two other EVs, next year we'll no doubt see more.

Almost certainly, whilst to government throw money at it. Didn't they do something similar a few years ago to encourage cleaner Diesel vehicles.🤔 Whilst the electric energy is generated in a large part by fossil fuel, it can never be the answer. Plus of course we have not even started with the problems of recycling all those millions of  lithium batteries. That will be a problem for a future administration.☹️

Energy storage systems have been already anticipated by  manufacturers.
