EVs are pretty great for purchasing around major metropolitan areas, but many still feel some range anxiety when it comes time to depart town limits. True, purpose-built charging stations are few and much between in the intervening time, but there’s another charging option for many who enjoy going green and crave the open road: campgrounds. Seems the 50-amp, 240-volt RV hookups present in such places can do double duty as juice dispensers for the depleted batteries on your Volt , Leaf , or Tesla . All electric roadwarriors need is an adapter to plug in, a couple of bucks to pay for current, and some hours of free time. It’s not as fast as fueling up the old-fashioned way, but RV parks provide a lot of perks (pools, lakes, and seniors who love poker, as an example) not found at your average filling station. So, who’s up for an eco-friendly road trip?
