1. A system, comprising:
a first electrical power meter configured to selectively provide electrical power via a first vehicle power connector and provide electrical power at a second current amount via a second vehicle power connector, the first electrical power meter comprising:
a first network interface;
one or more electrical power inputs configured to receive electrical power from a power-distribution system of a vehicle facility configured to host a plurality of vehicles;
a first electrically controlled switch configured to selectively conduct electrical power from the power-distribution system via the first vehicle power connector; and
a first client-side processor coupled to the first network interface and coupled to the first electrically controlled switch, wherein the first client-side processor is configured to communicate via the first network interface with a remote server system; and
the remote server system, comprising:
one or more server-side processors; and
memory storing instructions that when executed effectuate operations comprising:
causing a user-computing device of a user to display a user interface by which power-delivery via the first electrical power meter is configurable;
receiving, from the user-computing device, a request to deliver electrical power via the first vehicle power connector; and
in response to receiving the request, transmitting, to the network interface of the first electrical power meter, a command that causes the client-side processor to adjust the first electrically controlled switch to effectuate delivery of electrical power via the first vehicle power connector, wherein:
the vehicle facility comprises a plurality of sites to park recreational vehicles, each of the plurality of sites having an instance of the electrical power meter;
the first vehicle power connector comprises (a) a 20-amp vehicle power connector or (b) a 30-ampere recreational vehicle power connector;
the second vehicle power connector is a 50-ampere recreational vehicle power connector; and
the first electrical power meter comprises a meter configured to measure an amount of electrical energy delivered to a recreational vehicle via the first electrical power meter.
