The Evolution of Shore Power: Why SmartPlug is the Future

  The evolution of shore power systems has become a pivotal focus in ensuring the safety of boats while docked at the marina or dock and RVs while at the campsite. With its emphasis on safety, reliability, and ease of use, SmartPlug represents the future of shore power, offering a transformative solution for recreational boaters and RV enthusiasts. A Brief History of Shore Power Systems Shore power systems have been integral to the maritime industry for decades, providing necessary electricity to boats and ships while docked. They’ve also been utilized to power RVs/campers while at the campsite. Traditionally, these systems utilized twist-type connectors, which have been the standard for many years. The concept of shore power allows vessels to shut down their engines while still accessing electrical power for onboard systems, reducing noise, emissions, and fuel consumption. SmartPlug, with its efficient power transfer and reduced risk of overheating, further con
