Does Pony Express RV Stop Allow EV Charging?

Probably, though it isn't confirmed. A traveler reported that Pony Express RV Stop in Austin, Nevada lets EVs charge at the campsites, Teslas included, but the park has not verified an EV policy, so call ahead before you count on it. Most RV parks have 30 and 50 amp service. Use the 50 amp pedestal for your EV and 30 amp for your trailer. A 30-to-50 amp adapter is not recommended, as most EVs will draw too much power thinking they're on a 50 amp circuit. A traveler who called ahead was told you can charge an EV overnight at any site with no added cost, though the stop has no website and posts no EV policy, so we could not confirm it, and you should ask when you drop your payment envelope in the box. If the park confirms charging is OK, plug in when you arrive and you can wake up with a full battery instead of sweating over your next stop.
