Coastal Fleet Depot at Bayside Campground: V2G-enabled storage slips in Wilmington, North Carolina

Scale

180 sites, 40 leased to fleet

Service

Upgraded three-phase feeder to fleet loop

V2G enabled

40 fleet bays + 28 seasonal pedestals

The starting point

  • Sites sat empty from November through March with fixed infrastructure costs continuing.
  • The local fleet operator needed overnight depot charging without building its own yard.
  • Storm outages regularly took the bathhouse and office offline.

The build

  1. Phase 1

    Feeder upgrade

    A dedicated three-phase feeder was pulled to the winter loop, sized for simultaneous fleet charging and export.

  2. Phase 2

    Depot bays

    Forty bidirectional bays were commissioned with departure-time scheduling so every van leaves at target charge.

  3. Phase 3

    Dual revenue

    The campground bills the fleet for delivered energy and shares grid program revenue earned from parked capacity overnight.

  4. Phase 4

    Critical circuit

    Bathhouse, office and well pump were moved onto an islandable circuit backed by depot capacity.
