Charging electric vehicles on club pitches

 Whilst a club site I observed a fellow caravaner charging his vehicle via the external socket of his caravan, is this procedure conducive with the guidance given on site leaflets "that the use of electricity should be considered to help minimise our effect on the environment", additional should extra charges be made for carrying out such procedure.

I think electric cars are not ready to tow with and are just right for commuting to and from work or in a city

No argument at all Magnet, I agree many of the present EVs are good for short journeys and apart from Tesla non have been approved for towing.

Because we have an EV and now have experience of driving one I tend to post on EV threads to say it's ok to drive. I wish it had been approved for towing but it hasn't. Luckily ours does long distance driving too so for our particular make it has been a good experience. smile

edit And we haven't yet taken it to a club site and if we did I doubt whether we'd charge it on site, it's a full EV not a hybrid and it's easier and quicker to do that at a charge point somewhere. But it would be possible to top it up if needed without causing a huge draw on the site electricity, we'd just have to adjust what we were using in the van.
