Geezus the whole CG doesn't have to upgrade tomorrow. Upgrade 2-3 spots for EV's and that should cover the trend for the next 5 years or whatever. Honestly how many EV'ers are going to buy a trailer to camp with anyways? Probably very few in the next 5 years.
In my opinion I’ll say both yes and no. So yes, upgrades required if the KOA approach is taken and a J1772 handle on every pedestal is installed.
No if a basic charge service is offered along the lines of either the RV is plugged in or the EV is plugged but not both. This works for many depending on climate conditions etc. Not a perfect solution, but presently works quite well for campgrounds and RVers alike. An immediate albeit less than perfect solution that immediately creates a revenue stream for the park owner.
Infrastructure changes take time. It all starts with small steps.
All JMHO.
