L'Anse aux Meadows...charging dilemma

[idoco]

Question for the Newfoundlanders.

We're headed to Newfoundland this summer with our MX and Bowlus trailer. We have a side trip planned to L'Anse aux Meadows. The leg from Port au Choix to L'Anse aux Meadows is 130'ish miles. We have 170-175 range so that's not a problem.

Problem is on the way back we need to make it further than Port au Choix (the RV park is not available on the return leg dates). Next RV park is in Portland Creek, a 175 mile trip. And I don't see any charging listed on Plugshare or Chargehub. Would probably need 20-40 miles range added to make the trip and still have all of my hair!

So the question to the locals. Anyone know of a charging opportunity on that route? Preferably level 2. Maybe a Tesla owner with a 50A plug.

Thanks

Could you try asking the same campground if they have a plug available for a trickle charge?

Plan B. They offered to find a business or hotel in town to park and trickle charge overnight.
Plan C. Change dates

You would probably find a place in town. You’d need to cancel one night.

Another possibility would be a marina that has shore power for boats. I've seen RV's plugged in at marinas.

Do you have an Tt-30 adapter?

Do you have an Tt-30 adapter?

Yes. We've used it a couple times already. I imagine we'll be using it frequently in NL since most of the places we are staying only have 120V/30A service.

So are any of the campgrounds/charging locations on PlugShare?

None of the campgrounds with charging in that part of Newfoundland are listed on Plugshare.

If you get lucky, one of these towns might install an EV charger between now and then (big “might”)
