“ Rather than banning EVs from charging on site, maybe a campground is better off limiting the total power pull per campsite per day. Then the customer can choose whether to charge their EV or run 3 ACs or do 10 loads of laundry and it won't affect anyone else in the campground. Because it sounds like the main complaint is that a single campsite is pulling more power than the rest - and that shouldn't be just about EV owners, but anyone using "excessive" power.”

Well how about a ‘pay for what you use’ meter on each pedestal as a start - would pay for themselves and restore some fairness* I would think…

I read this while sitting in a PA state park campground with 290 sites spread over maybe 100 or more wooded acres on a mountainside. Nice place, lots of room between sites. I can only imagine what it would cost to individually meter the sites in this place, which would require a total underground rewire and major revisions to the overhead primary.
