Charging electric cars on Club sites.

When you get home at 2215 you according to your previos posts are expecting your poor OH to get a meal ready for you,is that going to be on a in the future so you hope that your EV will not take out all the other C/van equipment

ps so no more late night postings as you will be drawing power to keep warm

She usually does the cooking whilst I'm at work. The meal is ready by the time I get home. So the electric oven goes off and the EVcharging can start.

Incidentally, the heating can run on gas if there's a desperate need to do so. However, most of the time the weather is mild enough to manage without it even in the winter.

Being such a nieve person must be so rose tinted specs life

Oh the irony JV, you are classic👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂

Just think, summer 65F and you will have to suffer and sweat as you won’t be able switch your air conditioning on 

Hi everyone,

For clarity, and as per a previous discussion on this subject, the sites operations team at the Club have advised that the Club do allow site users to connect out from their caravan, as many do for their awnings and connect/charge their car, however, this will reduce the available ampage required for other usage within their outfit, which is their choice. If it becomes an issue and they exceed the 16 amp supply this will trip out the bollard, therefore, the Site Staff would then suggest, if this does happen to ask them to reduce their appliances plugged in.

I appreciate the feedback we have received on this discussion and have forwarded this conversation to the sites operations team for their consideration with regards to some of the comments and suggestions such as having designated car charging points on Club Sites. There may be a delay in reply as many people off over the Christmas period. 

A polite request to keep the conversation on track and friendly please. Many thanks. 

Always here to give real life help where needed

My existing Smart is costing £191.71 per month on the finance agreement 48 months of which 12 months are completed. Plus £20 per month for the service plan.

As I will get the new Smart Electric delivery from the factory within 6 months, I no longer need the service plan on the existing Smart because the next service is not due for another 12 months by which time the ownership of this car will have passed on to someone else. So the cancellation of the service plan is already saving me £20 per month.

If I had chosen to keep the existing car, I would have to continue paying £191.71 plus £20 service plan, plus £225 per month for unleaded petrol. So total monthly cost of £436.71.

The new Smart Electric will cost £289 per month on the new finance agreement, with no cost of unleaded petrol, thereby an overall saving of £147.71 per month which makes good financial sense to me. Furthermore, I get the benefit of a brand new car with more up to date technology and therefore better fit for purpose than my existing one. It's a win win all round!

After 48 months and completion of the £5000 balloon payment at the end of the finance agreement, I will then be better off by another £289 per month making a brighter future for me all round!
