EV charging options for campgrounds
By allowing EV campers to charge up, campgrounds can be featured on the EVXPLR database of EV-friendly campgrounds, enhancing visibility and appeal. Transitioning to EV-ready status is straightforward, with a couple of effective options available. Here’s how campgrounds can easily implement these solutions to tap into the growing market:
