Hybrid vehicle / hook up

if you own a plug in Hybrid you can re-charge and get 15-30 miles per charge free, so 

as well as paying the same hook up fee you can get free fuel.

This is about equivalent to £7.50 per day, Diesel or Petrol.

Are you saying it costs you £7.50 in petrol / diesel to drive 15 - 30 miles? What do you drive.

Anyway i'm too busy enjoying my holiday to worry about how much electricity other people are using, and no i haven't got a plug in hybrid.

Perhaps a point worth thinking about is that the electrical supply to a caravan/motorhome is not elastic it comes at a fix amount so whilst you are charging your car you can't be using the electricity in the van to the same extent. My understanding is that it is allowed under current policy. I think however the Club have started to install paid for charging points on some sites which will no doubt be extended. Perhaps when these dedicated charging points are more widely available the Club policy will change?

BTW I have moved your posting here as I don't think it really comes under the Story category.

I was under the impression that there are add charges if you want to charge a hybrid or ev via your own LV (not direct to the site hookup)

was it not advised by the club some months ago? not sure of the prices as not an owner of either

The club are now charging hybrid and EV users, payment is expected if a charge is used. The details are out there on the CAMC web site...but I'm not going to trawl through it tonight! 

By all means have metered bollards, fair to all and consumption will certainly go down....along with site fees LOL. 

Presently *Hybrid vehicles charged at £2 a day and electric vehicles charged at £8 a day.

Well, Pop Top, as you can see, you are wrong about free charging of hybrid or electric cars.

The cost of electricity is included in your site fee and you can use it anyway you like, other than charging EVs.

Have you studied the Govt regs about the resale of electricity? I suggest you do before thinking metering will be an easy answer.

Thanks for that EasyT, I knew the details were around somewhere...so I think this concludes the argument....except for the OP's "photos added" obviously lost in a red mist. 

Modern caravans are more energy efficient better insulation and heating systems, solar panels and led lighting, introducing electric meters would penalise older caravan especially in winter plus the cost involved of installing meters.

£7.50 is only a gallon & a bit of either petrol or The Fuel of the Devil. Fuel consumption of my car is anything from low 20s to low 30s to the gallon, depending on how it's driven, so Pop top isn't that far off the mark. 😉
