Tesla Motors Club

Now camping is not something I have experience with, but given a cancelled family holiday and the opportunity to get away for a few days on the mountain bike with my mates, it's going to happen :eek:

The issue I have is that the destination is west Wales and even with charging on route at the Tesla SuC in Stoke, I'll be "marginal" for the round trip back there. ABRP suggests around 20% if I don't use the car locally and assuming it doesn't rain or blow! I see a rapid on route back in Wrexham and there's a few slower chargers locally, but all a bit bereft over there.

However, I can book a pitch with "10 amp" electrical supply - albeit details are sketchy. My mates are regular campervan/caravan types and showed me their adaptors which look very similar to the Tesla 16A blue connector which plugs into the granny charger.

Am I right in thinking that they would be one and the same and that even though the supply is said to be 10A, I should still be able to plug in to get a top-up? I probably only need 30 miles or so to be safe. Not used the granny charger before, even with a 240v plug, so all a bit alien to me.

Any experience gratefully accepted before I head off and get stranded :)
