A map showing which campgrounds have EV chargers for road-tripping electric vehicle owners.

The pain

EV owners planning camping trips cannot easily find campgrounds with charging infrastructure, forcing them to choose between camping destinations and vehicle range anxiety.

The gap

Existing campground apps (AllStays, Hipcamp) don't filter by charger availability. Tesla's Supercharger map doesn't show campground amenities. No single source combines both datasets.

Build angle

Start by aggregating existing charger data (Tesla, Electrify America, ChargePoint APIs) with campground databases, then validate demand with Cybertruck and EV camping communities before building custom features.

Strengths

  • Clear, specific user problem with growing audience (EV adoption accelerating)
  • Data already exists, primarily an aggregation and UX problem, not a data collection problem
  • Low barrier to MVP: combine public APIs and existing databases into a simple map interface
  • Natural monetization paths: affiliate commissions from campground bookings, premium filters, or B2B licensing to campground chains

Risks

  • Market may be too small: only ~2M EVs in US, subset that camps, smaller subset that plans ahead. Addressable market unclear.
  • Charger data changes rapidly and requires constant maintenance, operational burden without clear revenue to justify it
  • Campgrounds lack standardized charger data; manual verification needed for accuracy, creating scaling friction
  • Existing players (Tesla, Hipcamp, AllStays) can add this feature faster than a startup can build a defensible product
  • Demand unvalidated: no evidence EV campers actively search for this or would pay for it
