The trenching would be the same. The copper cost would be double if they use the KOA approach of a 40 amp EVSE on each pedestal. But really, this is a 30 year transition. If they put EVSE’s on a third of the pedestals they would probably be covered for the next 20 years.

Jmho. Not an expert.

Just trumping up numbers here, but if the cost of the wire is 20% of the upgrade (likely way high) then doubling that cost would raise the total cost 20%. If the CG thinks the bigger RVs, needing 50 AMP would pay for the upgrade in 5 years, then as long as the EVs pay the extra interest, pay-off is 6. Add the possibility of extra tax bennies, and the chance of using some sites mid-week for short times, just charging EVs

I have no idea. It would require more service mains and I don’t know how much addition buying and wiring in charging ports would cost. But how many parks are there that are still 30 amp and also are planning on upgrading. I mean having 50 amp services has been pretty much the standard for several decades. If the haven’t already upgraded it is likely because they can’t due to either financial issues or the power just isn’t available. (More common than you think I’m rural locations).

Most of the parks (public) I go to are upgrading some sites to 50 every winter.
No as I have said before, if power to the area is limiting factor, it is very likely that other people in the area are also limited for power. Adding solar or wind nearby, and upgrading the lines to put that power on the grid will solve many of those issues.
