Charging at a Camp Ground

[dtonn]

Getting a Mach E maybe in December!

I am often at a camp where various Tesla owners charge on the 120V, saying their Tesla EVSE does not support the 240V 50Amp camp electrical.

Does the included Ford EVSE support this, or if not, then which one does?

Yes. It includes a NEMA 14-50 plug.

When booking at the campground, ask what type of 240V connector they use. I've been caught where they didn't use a 14-50 but instead was a 30A circuit with a 14-30 despite their assurances that it was a 50A circuit. I now ask for a photo of the connector for my own sanity.

I’ve heard of campgrounds that have a single hot lead connected to both hot pins of the 14-50. Since most if not all RVs use only 120V appliances, it works fine for them, but if you really need 240V, you’re out of luck.
