KOA partnered with Jamestown Advanced Products to build the chargers after it found one in five of its customers owns an EV, even if they don’t always bring it camping. In the U.S., only about 5 percent of all car sales are electric.

Charging will be included in camping fees, but each campground owner can decide on fees for non-campers looking for a recharge.
