I don't plug in in the park because I charge it overnight and it stays mostly fully charged all day long thanks to turning off when not actively needing it to be moving, parking and walking when I can, etc.
However, on my first trip using an ECV on one of the nights I forgot to plug it in. It was still pretty well charged by morning. We went to AK for our Tusker House ADR. I asked the CMs at the checkin podium if there was somewhere I could park and plug in the ECV to charge it while we ate. They took me to a sheltered area *outside* (but still part of the Tusker House complex) where I could safely plug it in and leave it while we went inside to eat.
As others have noted, a properly functioning ECV, charged overnight, and treated well in terms of turning off when not needed, etc, should last you through the whole day. If you do notice it running too low *ask a CM* where it is safe to plug it in. Don't just plug it in to any old plug.
