Worst case, an EV takes up 2 spots at a Tesla supercharger, but this might not be that big of a deal given how fast Tesla's plopping down charging stations (not stalls, but entire stations). From Jan 1 to today there have been 600 new stations (not stalls) and we're already starting to see V4 ones poke their head out. Assuming they keep the pace up, I don't think it'll take very long to have a sizable V4 network.
For comparison, in just 1 year Tesla will have almost built out a full Electrify America-worth of charging stations (not stalls) as EA's network only has 840 stations.
As far as V2(G/H/L) goes, AFAIK the implementations aren't cross compatible on CCS. The closest we got to a standard to this in the US was with CHAdeMO's native support for the tech. NACS doesn't bar a standard from being developed to handle this.
