EV charging
Charging bays sized to the site, installed and supported alongside everything else we fit.
A guest in an electric car checks whether they can charge before they check almost anything else about a park, and a park that cannot answer the question quietly drops off the list. The operators fitting bays now are mostly not doing it for the charging revenue. They are doing it to stay on the shortlist.
For a guest in an electric car, charging is a filter rather than a feature. Having it is what gets the park considered in the first place.
Not every pitch can carry its own charge point. A shared bank solves it for the owners whose supply will not stretch, without you rewiring the park.
Charging is a daytime load, which is exactly when panels are producing. The two are worth designing together rather than a year apart.
From a couple of bays near reception to a bank across the park, scaled to the supply that is genuinely available rather than to a brochure.

The first question is what your incoming supply will carry. We establish that before anyone starts talking about how many bays.
2
Where the bays go, what they will do and what it would cost, on paper, before anything is committed.
3
Groundworks and cabling planned so the site keeps running, then fitted and certified by our accredited engineering partner.
4
Set up, monitored and maintained, including how guests pay to use them if that is how you want it run.
That is the real constraint on most parks and it is the first thing we establish. Where the incoming supply is the limit there are ways around it, including load management and pairing with solar, and we will set them out rather than gloss over them.
It depends where the bays sit relative to the supply. Putting them close to an existing distribution point cuts the groundworks considerably, which is one of the things the survey is for.
That is your decision. Bays can be free to use, folded into the pitch fee or charged for at a rate you set. We will set out what each option means before you pick one.
Groundworks are the disruptive part, which is why they are planned for the shoulder months. Everything is phased so pitches and access stay usable.
The units are replaceable and the infrastructure in the ground is the expensive part. It is specified with headroom so it is not the thing that dates.
We will assess what the site will carry and come back with a layout and a figure. No commitment either way.
What can be installed, and how quickly it will charge, depend on the incoming electrical supply at the site and on the distance between the bays and that supply. Groundworks requirements are confirmed at survey. Planning and permitted development status depends on the site and any designations over it. Any figures we give are estimates for your site rather than guarantees.
