Can people please post some examples of UK sites where electricity.usage is metered.

The one I know of is Pier Collage on the waterside at Coniston - a family owned site with 15 pitches . The system there is to pay on departure for the amount of electricity used, but other sites sell pre paid cards on arrival, so comments on the different ways of working may be helpful.

Likes and dislikes will inevitably crop up - they always do on here - but I was rather looking for practical ways of working.

It will be plain to see when an EV of hybrid is on charge. Would you risk being booted off the site by not paying a few quid? I wouldn’t.

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a fair number who will take the chance of not being found out, by hooking up over the hours of darkness.

So would I, but I doubt it is the case.

The charge for EV charging on the pitch is quite high IMO, takes no account  of how much a vehicle can take, so quite likely some will not feel it is value for money.

Really? in winter that might work, but most times you have to wait till it gets dark then get up before it gets light to hide all the evidence. Also wardens do walk around at night. But of course it would give rise to totally new thread titles on here to replace seeing awning heaters left on.

Well if what you say is true, which I doubt, that puts not opting for EHU out as wellsmile

If you don't need all the club offers then why do you keep using them so much and why be so focused with getting meters installed on club sites? I recall a previous post where you said that number of club sites for you was quite high? Why not use those simpler sites and where meters are more common?

Why are you so obsessed with my site usage Corners? Not for the first time either, it adds nothing to the discussion.

Just a thought, particularly for those with hybrid vehicles, which can be more realistically charged through the caravan. I know there is an additional charge because of posting on here. However, I have never noticed it advertised. As they are just plugging into the caravan, which they would do with any other appliance, some truly may not realise.
