Charging electric cars on Club sites.

If it were any other commercial enterprise I'm sure the strategy group would be looking at this issue right now even though IMO it is unlikely to be a major issue for 5/10/20 years

If the Club had any sense they would install just one meter on a site to check electricity usage to acquire  some hard facts.

Now whose site and pitch do you think they should install it on?  

There is quite a bit of Gov aid for installing charge points, I don't know whether this applies to leisure industry sites but certainly for work place and residential.

It matters not whether the Alde is set to 1, 2, 3kw. The over all energy required will be broadly the same. As Steve pointed out, in summer heating requirements over night will be modest as many set heating to 16, 17,18c overnight and ambient temperatures are unlikely to be significantly lower.

At present maybe 3 or 4 cars being charged at the very most on a 100 pitch site. 

Summer only lasts for 3 months. There's Spring, Autumn and Winter when Alde heating on at least 2 kw is used to keep the caravan warm inside. This is often run 24 hours a day as opposed to the much smaller amount of electric consumed by an EV that is fully charged in six hours and consuming nothing the rest of the day.

This was a good example of times and costs and certainly with a full EV a fast off site charge would be preferable at present.

Malcolm, your heating is on a thermostat. When we are away in spring and autumn our Alde is only actually on for a fraction of the 24 hours. Charging a car is like leaving an awning heater going all night.

Nights are not usually that cold for 7 months of the year. When an EV is not being charged the electric supply will be utilised as normal. Simple fact is that for over half a year someone charging an EV is likely to use significantly more electric. 

It's also the time involved, faffing around for several hours with other appliances on or off would just be a nuisance (for us anyway.) Before OH installed a fast charger at home we often came home in the afternoon and need to start the charge straight away. If the car was my only vehicle on site I would be wary of not having access to it, rather like having a car with no diesel or petrol standing outside. Most people prefer to have their cars ready to go in whatever circumstances. At present we rarely run our battery down much at all due to this thought. Occasionally we give it a "good" charge which also bumps up the mileage.

Hybrids on sites at present have fuel at the ready, they can manage without the battery if needed.

I would not be faffing - I would be in bed! The faffing would be before charging and going to bed. and after getting up.
