I think we (EV drivers and camper) should embrace each other. I welcome campers to charge the batteries for their vans/caravans, at EV charging stations. In return I want camping sites to allow EVs to connect when they stay over night, either sleeping in the car or in a tent. I believe that paying any paying customers create revenue and demand, to install more service.

Good info Mel. One other positive to this is that if it becomes more common/accepted practice for campervan charging, then more EV charging points might be installed in some of the out of the way/rural places, this would benefit visitors and also those who live there can also charge their EV locally without having to install anything special at home. Plus, some charging points that don't get a lot of use by EVs might be kept as campervan use will make them viable.

It would be good if they could add maybe 2 low power inputs suitable for a camping electric hook-up connector for camper van battery charging while the main high power input for battery car charging can still be used as well. If it's a power problem They could set a limit so it doesn't interfere with people trying to hi power charge there car. So for example you only get enough power to charge your battery but not run a microwave or electric fire while connected as it would trip off.

Why are you getting only 400 watt? The AC200Max should do 1200+ or so. I’m in the USA, if I want to test this out I’ll have to find a 240v lithium charger with a 48v output for a diy battery bank. 20amp output would be good for ~1100 watt of charging. Can you recommend chargers with 20, 40, 60, 80 & 100 amp outputs? Preferably if they mail to the US too.

Great stuff, tho' I'd have to colour match the plastic hook up cover.

Good call!

One thing worth being aware of. Those adapters will ignore signal from charging station. As long as the charging station supports enough power; it's not a problem. If the charging station is part of a load balancing system, or other reason for reduced power; they might temporarily or permanently not support enough power. Large parking with many stations, can have load balancing, where they restrict the power. Home stations, can have load balance with the rest of the building, where available power at charger can change depending on how much is used inside. Some installation can be permanently set to low power. The lowest power is ~1.4 kW, if you appliance/charger use less, then you are good to go. If you are above 1.4 kW you should verify the power setting for the station, if it's permanent of dynamically changes. If you try to charge at 2 kW from a 1.4 kW station, it will probably shut down, depending on the system, it might auto reset or you need a service technician, Mind you, I'm not trying to scare anyone, but I think it's useful to be aware of the possibility, to avoid shutting down the system for many stations.

It used to be about 2:1 fast chargers Vs rapid chargers, about 5 years ago. It's about 3:1 in the rapid charger favour now. Hopefully, as the network of charge points expand, fast or slow chargers will sprout up everywhere, as more locations not on high voltage lines see an opportunity. That's what I hope for - the focus has been entirely on rapid charger infrastructure at the moment.

EV charging cable, the Juicy Brucie - www.juicybrucie.com - It’s 10M long and meets EV regulations. I have created a code MEL15. If you’d like to share the code it will give you £15 off

will this work DC to DC? as most newer charging points are DC

I have no idea 🤷‍♂️

Don't you have a B2B charger installed, in which case staying off grid just means either running your engine to charge battery (bit inconsiderate) or go for a drive.

Thanks for the video, but I'm not seeing a link to this product?

Thanks for the video, very useful. Have you got the link to the EV adaptor cable mentioned in the beginning as this would be brilliant as I cannot find it in your info link.

@@BigVanSmallWorld I did find one earlier for £138, which I think was EVBitz, though I have now lost it! Very excited about this possibility. The other week I learnt about the juicy brucy lead which was a revelation as well.

As an EV driver, I don't see an issue with this per say. My only niggle is the possibility of someone plugging in a campervan then walking away. Some EV drivers who don't have the facility to charge at home rely heavily on public chargers. Other than that, there's no reason why we can't all get along as long as you stay with the van and be prepared to free up the charger if a car turns up :)

I can foresee a time when these older 7KW & 22KW chargers become less used as EV charging tech has already moved on. Modern vehicles can use the new *360KW* charge stations now. 😲 Hopefully they keep these old Pod Points installed for a while longer, as this method of plugging in won't work with modern rapid charge stations.

Anyone doing this straight into an ECOFLOW? I have a DELTA MAX and I’m wondering if this works.. Mainly concerned about the ECOFLOW getting the right amount of electricity. It needs 220v to 240v at 10A. If this works then there is no need to park there for so long. I could pull 2kwh in a bit over an hour that way. Would appreciate anyone’s input with that.

This is great, I am planning on carrying a 120amp 12v power supply with me in my van, to use as a temporary charger for my lifepo4 cells. If I plug this into my shore power socket after connecting at one of these charge points as you did, my 12v battery pack will charge at 120amps (1680 watts) 👌 If nothing else, within an hour (if I’m doing my shopping for example), my 280ah battery could go from 50 to 90% in that time. Great to have another option to charge (already have lots of solar, a dc-dc charger and standard lithium charger). Mel, a few videos ago you said you’d add a link to the chicken shed below, but the link wasn’t there. I wondered if you can tell me where it is and how to get in right with Adrian (at least I think that’s what the fellas name was). Thanks and great content! 👌👌

What adapter did you use can’t find it anywhere. Thanks
