Camp grounds will come on board. Those who don’t will just fade away. Just like hotels adapting to new client expectations. Exercise rooms, continental breakfast, wifi, Pretty much every new hotel has destination chargers where we are. And they get used. Many start with just one and add as demand requires. I suspect campgrounds will do the same.
Brand new parks...probably but even there, you will see a lot of failures. The electrical code allows for under sizing based on the assumption not everyone will be maxing out their pedestal so upstream they are allowed to provide significantly less amperage capability at the main panel. I'm betting most owners don't have the understanding and will want to save money by putting in a smaller power feed that meets code. It may take a lot of failures before the code gets updated to account for this.
How many brand new parks are developed each year relative to the current parks? Our experience is not many new parks getting built or fully refurbished.
Hotels...have you ate one of the continental breakfasts? If that's the quality we can expect for these new campground electrical systems, it won't be pretty.
Location location location I suppose. We find the continental breakfasts healthier in Europe but that has more to do with preference. Better and more convenient than a sit down restaurant for us.
It will take years for the camp ground adaptation to happen. I have no doubt there will be winners and losers. Then again, depending on your charging needs they are already fairly well prepared. Or at least the ones with 50 amp service. Maybe not for a campground full of EV’s. But that won’t happen for decades.
