9,000-pound electric Hummer shows we can’t ignore efficiency of EVs

I went on a long road trip recently with my Model S and charged up at RV parks where we tent camped. It's $10 more than a non-electric site, but that charge's range is worth about $30 worth of gasoline, so it's an easy win and you can skip the time to supercharge.

RV parks are probably going to start metering electricity if this becomes more commonplace... I imagine charging an EV takes a lot more energy than charging an RV, no?

They will charge by time (like by day as is common now) in most cases, since metering by usage often requires being regulated as a utility.

Are out those ev chargers regulated as utilities then?

Depends on the jurisdiction. In BC Canada at least, it has to be by time.
