Good reason for adding a few dedicated J1772 units on dedicated circuits not on any loop.
Yup, that is certainly the answer. Only one problem - that $40 your willing to pay ain't going to incentivize a RV park to undertake such an endevour.
Yep. And only the park operator can decide if it’s worth it. It won’t be important for a 3 or 4 years yet. Electric half tons are just starting to come out this year. But eventually it will just be a decision on wether it’s worth it to provide a service that will attract clientele or lose them to the competition. Hotels had to and are still having to make that decision. For most EVers it’s a binary decision when they check the website or phone the hotel. Do they have EV charging facilities. If not, move on. In the case of hotels it’s even easier. There is an APP called EV hotels. I’m sure that will happen for campgrounds too.
Either way, it will always be up to the operator.
At least for the foreseeable future EV charging will be an amenity that parks will decide whether the costs and additional management is a net positive at the end of the day. No different than a pool, a playground or a dog park. For some that amenity is a necessity, for others completely unimportant. Fact is no business can please everyone and RV owners who need EV charging will be a niche market many parks will not seek to serve in over the next several years.
