I'm European and go camping regularly, and the normal pitch power is: hold your hats: 6 amps @ 230v = 1,38kW!!!
Sometimes, at campsites where they have a lot of big mobile homes visit, you can get 10 or even 16A, so 3.68kW max...
In the Netherlands, *if* you can charge at a campsite or motel, it's a Mennekes chargepoint at 11kW or more.

The digiNow Supercharger is best for weather and power density.  I rode from Maine to Florida with it exposed to the elements and it worked great the whole way there and back (about 4,000 miles).

Best AC station in US is Tesla 8-16kw single phase 200-277v
EU is full of 16A 3 phase 240v... this is 10-11kW depending on voltage of the phases. Europe rocks because when I was riding over there I was never more than 10 min away from an 11kw station!
EU also has many 22 and 43 kw AC stations, perfect for Terry.

Our chargers use either 1 or 3 phases. I also have them setup so that if not all the legs of the three phase are available, they will automatically use only the present legs.
Also, full 3 phase connectors = amps*volts*3
partial 3 phase = amps*volts*2
Single phase = amps * volts
