Is the above practice in the photo 'taboo'?.....should only 'proper' changing points be used?

Not as far as I am aware. See my post above.
Not many sites have dedicated EV chargers installed as yet.

Our caravan had an external socket we could have plugged in to. However, if we wanted to charge an EV from our MH we would have to do it as in the photo. Only a very few sites have dedicated EV chargers. Presumably why the Club has its current policy.
I suppose metering, if it is rolled out to all sites, will mean a separate charge will be unnecessary.

Posted on 09/07/2023 09:58 by TinwheelerYes, Rocky, although obviously not a tow car. A fabulous driving experience and certainly cheap to run at present. It’s first service was £54😄😄

Interesting that this topic is posted under 'making touring holidays cheaper' .
I've long held the view that the vast majority of EV users have followed that route simply to save money,,and for them 'saving the planet is of minor importance if of any relevance at all.
The sooner they pay a sensible share of car tax the better.
