I'm new. I have stupid questions. Lots.
TLDR: Any reason a person could not use car charging stations to charge house batteries for RV or Van's etc?
I am considering all the variables with adding onboard battery storage for a van. One of the variables is charging. If I can eliminate a cost like solar maybe I can add more battery. If I need a charging source on the road it can be hard to find an agreeable location sometimes. I thought, why not try to charge at a car charger. I can see that one can buy the correct sockets, but I'm not sure what might be needed to manage the charge and if there was some communication protocol in the chargers that ensure they are only supplying power to cars.
No way I am the first person to think of this, but I wasn't able to find any threads. Anyone seen this before?
