Will be interesting to see how many of the fanatics who want this technology actually buy it. I could see there being municipal users, but for private use, especially RV, where folks tend to be farther away from public utilities and a means of recharging this will be a problem.
Don't you think commercial campgrounds will adapt specially if they see their facilities being by-passed in favor of RV parks with charging stations? Remember the case of motels without cable? And now happening to motels without free Wifi.
I bet national, state, city, country parks and forests would love to have EVs rather than the polluting gas vehicles and in fact already on natural gas buses.
For national parks though, it might have to wait for the next environment-friendly administration.
I would expect the cost to go way up, Park operators that wanted to do this would worry about how to charge for the additional power, meters at each campsite? And how many parks already have issues of voltage or low power due to their systems being over stressed, adding vehicle charging would increase the load even more.
And my original comment was not in reference to commercial parks, but referring to boondockers, Are they all going to have to carry even more or larger generators which dont have the clean burning additions new vehicles have in order to charge the even newer vehicles with battery power?
As I said, for municiple uses, they have a place, for folks who want to venture outside urban areas, it's gonna take some time to work out all the bugs.
When the "Mr Fusion" generators from back to the future are available, you'll have something.
