Let's say 48 kwh per 100 miles of range. (cars do 24 kwh per 100)
A 50amp service allows 12,000 watts.
So that's about 4 hours. If we scale that back to 80% of capacity--it is 5 hours.
How long does the average RV'er (if there is such a beastie) stay at a campsite?
Personally I try not to travel more than 300 miles per day. Virtually the only times I do so are when I'm being "chased" by a snow storm.
As charging stations proliferate I can see myself stopping for lunch for 30 minutes. If the spot has a super charger, about 80% of the full range may be replaced during that time frame.
I can see that campgrounds may wish to equip sites with electrical meters. Perhaps even ones that are credit card operated.
I firmly believe that with more than 5 firms offering semitrailer electric "tractors" that a decent EV RV will soon be on offer.
