RV parky is also good for finding 50 amp NEMA 14-50 outlets.

Plugshare and RV Parky have helped me ride in all the lower 48 states.  They are great!

Also, Chargepoint is awesome to track charging while you are plugged into a Chargepoint station.

Ben when stopping at rv parks to charge what do they cost ? I guess what I'm asking is what does crossing the country cost to charge on your trip?

Most RV parks let me charge for free.  Others will accept $2-3 and KOA Kampgrounds always ask for $5.  I didn't calculate charging costs for this trip but I estimate $2.50 for RV parks.

Last year's trip cost $53 total for 6,800 miles.

Thanks Ben

Where I am located I can find more rv campgrounds than charging stations. I have only begun my search for charging in northern new england, but so far many of my normal weekend jaunts seem feasible on the DSR with power tank and supercharger. Starting to check car dealers now. Thanks for the great charging ideas

You're welcome.  I always work hard to make a good impression at RV Parks by spending time explaining EV stuff and just friendly chatting.  Especially if I know I wil be back.  At this point there are several stops I have been to multiple times and I look forward to catching up with them.

Plugshare has the most complete database around here because it's mostly user generated. If you see a new station, snap a pic, hit some buttons and boom it's in.

If you're ever needing a charge near Hudson, NH, feel free to plan a stop at the house. I have a 14-50, J-1772 40A, and soon a diginow.  I swung by a few car dealers just to check them out and they seem to have a ice blocking the spots giving the impression they aren't very open to drop-ins.

Hey! I'm in Nashua this week for work! I don't have my bike with me but I really want to ride up here the next time now that I have the DigiNow SC. If I do manage to ride up here we should go for a ride [emoji1]
