This is a big if, but if the power pedestal is wired properly it should be able to supply power to all of the plugs at their rated capacity. With appropriate adapters, when needed, both the RV and EV could be connected to the pedestal. One to the 50 and the other to the 30 if the pedestal is equipped with both a 50 and 30. If not, one to the 30 and the other to the 15.
The current electrical code has 7 50 amp, on ONE measly 200 amp breaker, yielding 200 amps per leg. Since 50 amp is "rv speak" each one of the 7 is actually 100 amps. The code relies on not all air conditioners starting at once.
So just four pedestals in heavy use may "max out" the 200 amp circuit, even if it is "looped".
