Can you plug a lead into your EV that will pull power out to 240v outlets?
So you could go camping in a field but boil electric kettles and use electric appliances from your massive EV battery?

Camping Jim, but not as we know it.

Anything more advanced than a paraffin stove and its glamping not camping

But you can't cook sausages on the manifold, can you 😂

Why? most campsites have mains outlets to each pitch

We have an OEX stove thing and a fire pit stand to burn logs in. This farm won’t allow the cars near the tents so you wheel barrow all your stuff in. 🙄😢

Not on some of these wild farms.

I love campsites where it isn't cluttered with cars, loud music, generators.

Yep the owners only do it in August for limited numbers so it’s quiet.

On some EV's, yes.

Most campsites won't let you plug into the electric as it's too high a load for EV's. One of the sites we stay at charges about £1 per unit, and someone recently plugged their car into the power - cost them £64 and needed legal letter to chase up. Whilst it's quite steep charge, they are only charging for what you use, and they will be paying commercial rates

You are unlikely to be allowed the fire pit this year. Most sites have banned them due to the tinder dry conditions.

We're doing quite well with a power station and solar - managed 5 days off grid running a 'fridge'.
