DVC @ Disney World Tesla / EV Charging

[Kingkonig]

As an EV owner, it somewhat makes sense. Level 2 charging too short of an amount of time to charge a car overnight and/or when people are at the parks, but too much time for a “quickly charge and go shopping for 45 minutes while it fills up” like Level 3s do. Level 3 chargers are extremely expensive and installing them would increase dues faster (and it isn’t something that I can imagine normal owners would like to pay for). I actually think DVC resorts (well, all resorts but this is DVC related) should do what my office does. We installed a bank of 120v plugs in a few rows of the parking lot, which allows the EV drivers to bring their own car and charger, plug it in at the office, and then the car will be mostly (or fully) charged by the end of the day. Makes even more sense for a resort hotel where you may park the car once and not go back to the car until you leave.

Interesting idea. Perhaps a mix of level 1’s and 2’s.

1’s for those who plug n leave their cars for a few days (cuz that’s how long it could take to fully charge on a trickle) and 2’s for the majority (imo) of us that need a faster charge for more flexibility / variety of charge need (eg. overnight and unplug in the AM; pooltime; gym; rope drop and return to room for lunch, etc).

We know that VGF has a row of parking with standard outlets. Has anyone asked to park there if they are staying at Poly?

Great news! PVB now has Charge Point chargers. Two charging stations for 4 cars. Added with the Tower. Awesome!
