Another summertime issue in many campgrounds is sure to be that EV charging may preempt the ability of others to operate their air conditioning… As temperatures rise to to 100’s (uh-o :( !!), this is sure to test the mental metal of otherwise friendly fee-paying for services campers…

3 tons - mostly (happily!) :) off-the-grid…

(full disclosure, 400a/hr LFP, 660w rooftop solar - newly added 360w of portable MPPT PV..)

Generally the EV can charge after the sun goes down and the A/C cooling load is reduced. Can we ever just get along?

Who generally will enforce such a policy? The charging police? Park Ranger? Buffo the clown? How about the honor system?

There are piles of rules, especially at state and fed campgrounds that go un-enforced. No alcohol and not bringing in outside firewood are two examples, for a whole myriad of reasons not the least is staffing levels. With today's me first mentality, which is inherent to a lot of the EV save the planet greenie crowd, good luck.
