Campground 30 amp circuits are only 120 volts so you won't get much of a charge.
You get more than you would on a standard 120v/15amp outlet that campgrounds also have. I'll take 2.4kW instead of 1.2-1.4kW!

:rolleyes: It's like nothing that was said in the previous 44 posts ever happened...
LOL, right? It's almost 2900w so around 5-6 MPH in a Rivian and 11 in a Tesla or other sedan. Rather useful when you're there for a couple days, getting 130 miles a day.

BTDT, clearly people saying it doesn't help have never done it.

lol, As I read this I am in a campground plugged into a 30 amp 120 volt outlet, adding about 2.4 kw per hour to the truck. I will unplug tomorrow morning after about 14 hours of charging and adding about 33kwh ... nearly a third of my large gen 2 battery.
