A dual purpose power pedestal includes a housing having a base, a body extending upwardly from the base, and a top disposed opposite the base, the body including a first side and a second side; a recreational vehicle (RV) connection mechanism disposed on the first side of the body and comprising a power receptacle and a first circuit interrupter, the RV connection mechanism being structured to be coupled to a power source and provide power to at least an RV; and an electric vehicle (EV) connection mechanism disposed on the second side of the body and comprising at least a frame, an EV connector, an EV cable, and an EV charger that is disposed within the frame and includes at least a controller and a second circuit interrupter, the EV charger being structured to charge an EV based on a signal from the controller.

Dual purpose power pedestal

A pedestal has two sides that are opposite one another and to which various charging boxes can be mounted and electrically connected. For instance, the pedestal can have the same charging boxes mounted to the two sides and electrically connected with a power system upon which the pedestal is positioned. Instead, two different charging boxes can be mounted to the two sides. Importantly, either or both charging boxes can be easily removed by appropriate personnel and alternatively replaced with other charging boxes if, for instance, the market for needing specific electrical charging has changed or if the population of electrical vehicles needing electrical charging has grown in a new direction, by way of example.
