Really curious how KOA will do it. I wonder if they’ll bring in a third party like chargepoint to look after the billing. That way it’s just an app. Swipe the phone, done. Charge away.

My bet is they don't promote them at all.

If someone does want to use the system, just charge a really high price to discourage use.

They are already kinda promoting them. But why would they discourage use? Wouldn’t that just turn away revenue?

What is with using KOA as a benchmark? I wouldn't stay there if any other choice was available as they rip you for everything now. There will be options from most campgrounds time will tell.

There is a lot more than meets the eye to upgrade from standard 50A service in new or existing campground construction to have a metered charging station.

The charging station has an internal meter and automatic billing. Camp would then share the revenue.
Or they could create their own network.

And of course plenty of monthly rentals already have a submeter to bill electric usage as part of the contract.

Everyone seems to wonder how the RV parks are going to do this and if they can and what will they charge..................... They will do it for the bucks simple as that and you will pay more and they will do it as needed.... case closed.
Seems like a lot of folks are worried that the RV parks are going to lose .... not happening, don't worry yourself.

Yah. A meter on every site? Ugh. A flat fee based on vehicle size seems soooo much easier. Something like SUV’s 25 bucks. Trucks, 50 bucks or whatever they figure out.

Interesting times.

Too funny. Going into a fully functioning facility of ant type it’s not so simple as “pulling a few wires”

Stupid question; If a CG is upgrading sites from 30 too 50 Amp, how much extra cost to also add capacity to charge EVs? Bet most have made/are making that change so I assume they have run the numbers and are betting the upcharge for site with upgraded power will pay off.
Bet that very few will be towing to CG with EV for years. OTOH, I can see a lot of EVs used as toads in the next few years.
Could CG meter power to post, charge extra for high use? AC in a tent, or charge a EV, would cause them to pay more. (Might help with lights on all night too)
