Charging an EV camper on a trip
As electric base vans arrive, charging becomes part of trip planning. Connectors, on-board limits and the routing tools.
What matters
CCS EU DC fast-charge standard (up to 350 kW)
Type 2 AC connector (7.4–22 kW)
OBC on-board charger caps AC speed
Planning the route
An EV camper charges fast on CCS DC and slower on Type 2 AC — with the on-board charger (OBC) setting the AC ceiling. Weight and drag from a conversion cut real range, so use a heavy-vehicle-aware planner like A Better Route Planner and live charging data from Open Charge Map or EAFO.
Key takeaways
- CCS = fast DC; Type 2 = AC, capped by the on-board charger.
- Conversion weight cuts range — plan with margin.
- ABRP + Open Charge Map handle heavy-vehicle routing.
