If/when electric tow veh become common what do you think the average RV park will charge for a nights stay if they charge $40 per now?
I would think an RV park would contract a company like EVGO or Chargepoint to equip a certain number of sites with EVSE's. The park would split the proceeds with the supplier. Currently payments are made with cell phone Apps or RFID cards. I suspect that will be the method of payment in an RV park. Depending on the grid service to the park the charge network company would probably go with a 6.6 KW or 7.7 KW EVSE per site, This is common in car parks and would provide a reasonable overnight partial charge and a full charge in a two day stay, The campground site price itself probably wouldn't change.
I would think we are probably 5 to 10 years away from seeing campgrounds invest in this type of infrastructure. In the meantime EV drivers can share the power from the 50 amp pedastal between the EV and RV using the EVSE that comes with the EV and just setting the charge rate of the truck to a lower amount. 16 or 20 amp or whatever. Pricing will be as per the campground owners rate. This is how we do it right now although the battery in our EV toad is quite small in comparison to what a EV truck would have.
