Charging electric cars on Club sites.

I do not use as much electric as a family, yet I still get charged the same. Why can’t I be charged for what I use?? Bring back meters

Why do you assume that families use significantly more power. You are charged based on the average usage the same as all. And there never were meters on CC sites that I recall over the past 35 years. 

No! I am not off topic!  I do not use as much electric as New caravans with a family on board, so why should I have to pay for EV to be charged when I have to go off site and buy my fuel elsewhere!!

There are numerous fuels available other than electric, so when the deadline comes, those who continue with their existing vehicles, according to views here, we will have to pay EV inflated price 12 v caravan pitch electric supply although our vehicles do NOT use electric??

Its outrageous!!!

At present Vivien I am happy to pay the EHU component of the pitch fee. To carry on off topic a little there is the option for all to use electric for heating. When the EHU became included in the pitch fee I installed mains electric into the caravan so that I could make some use of what I was paying for. A family already pay increased fees. It is probably easier to heat a caravan with 4 people aboard than one person due to body heat. 

Many non club sites charge a base of caravan/EHU/and two adults. At least CC just charge for one person. 

There is no mention of paying inflated prices to cover EV charging. At present the effect is negligible. Of course that may e an issue in the future but certainly not at present. I also pay a small amount to cover E-Bike and disability scooter charging. I am content to do so. 

Certainly the difference in Electricity usage between families and a single person has nothing to do with E vehicles being charged on site. 

I don't think I said that at all Viv. We have a 32 year old van, it has a water heater and a fire that are both dual fuel, a two hob burner with a grill. Hardly modern, hardly heavy on consumption. And as we have chosen to tour on a budget, we refuse to pay more than £20 per night average all year. So in Winter we use Club Sites, in Summer the CL network or no facility sites. We don't require more, we are comfortable, warm and enjoying ourselves. The Club charges a per person rate, so as a single traveller, you pay for just one person on most Club Sites. (Which may or may not be a suitable price for you as an individual, I wouldn't know that) CLs might be expensive in some instances for a single traveller, as most charge a fixed night fee. However, my OH toured on his own for a few nights, and found some private sites who were happy to reduce his nights fee, as he was on his own. As for the annual membership fee, we pay this happily to have access to some very cheap CLs (£5/6/7 per night), and then are canny enough to use some of the membership offers to get our fees back. Even as a solo traveller, this would be viable, as solo group members could work together to take advantage of two for one offers, and split the difference. This is what I and my none member sister do, if she comes with me.

We don't limit our touring options in any way, making best use of whatever suits us, both site facility wise, and price wise, be it Club, CL or private. But this is our choice. If the Club isn't offering what we need, (and I do empathise on the high prices for Club pitches in busy times,) then we would simply not rejoin. I don't think the Club is a two tiered membership, it caters primarily for those who now require a good deal of facilities, don't choose to go without a hook up, and aren't that bothered about what they pay. But it does give alternatives for some circumstances.

To go back to OP, EVs are another element for Club to consider, they may or may not influence pricing at some point, much as modern vans have done. Those who embrace the technology will go with it, those who choose not to will look at alternatives or adapt.

I did not consider that comment to be aimed at an individual David

Cuh! So you can't please all of the people all of the time then?

There have  been several valid points put forward. But I believe that when more and more people buy EVS, the government will dictate how the electricity will be paid for as the revenue raised by the current fuel tax will have to be recouped from somewhere so maybe only dedicated charging points will be the option so they can charge a higher tariff and non domestic tariff.

Then the club, work places etc will have to decide whether they provide charging points.

 

I posted a link to that earlier in the thread somewhere,,,,

The government has more or less said it will introduce  pay by the mile road charging.....!

I would probably be enjoying my holiday ,rather than noticing weather some one's EV was "plugged in" or not
