ONLY 1% of Americans own electric vehicles but 4% of campers do

 It will at least be less common as electric trucks and SUVs start arriving at more campsites. While still a small minority, campers are more likely to own an electric vehicle than those who don’t go camping, according to a survey by Kampgrounds of America, the nation’s largest campground operator. Only about 1% of Americans currently have an electric vehicle, according to KOA, but about 4% of regular campers do. People who use them extoll their virtues while expressing the need for some infrastructure improvements out in America’s vast open spaces. 

end partial quote from:

Any way you look at it this is an interesting figure. Camping can rejuvenate people better than anything I  know. But, it's also true you have to be able to afford the Camping equipment and the vehicles necessary to actually Get there too. But, like I said either way this is an interesting figure that sort of shows how people who choose to camp regularly tend to own more electric cars than those who don't.

Part of it is the quietness of camping and being out in nature with animals and birds and trees and clean air and part of it is what happens to a person who has this kind of experience and loves it.

Visiting the wilderness was always something I loved to do from about age 4 or 5 with my parents who loved the wilderness too. I always found that the wilderness was my church and that it was always the place I met God in a natural setting.
