Will not be hard to have an RV Park charging mode that limits power if needed. However unless half the park turns over in the same day with 100% EV MHs I can't imagine there will be an issue. People forget the draw stops when vehicle is charged.
Low voltage on a hot afternoon? EV MH could easily stop charging or drawing ANY power until the issue is resolved after midnight and still get plenty of power to make a continental breakfast. This will enable an EV to actually reduce the issue for all the old MHs that have to draw max power continuous to run the two A/C units during the hot afternoon.
My experience is people use as much power as they can get out of the pedestal.
Unless the owner is going to redo the electrical system and upgrade it, there won't be automated systems to cut or scale back power available at a site.
Since many RV parks already have issues on hot days (not just afternoons), adding substantial additional power draws...even at modest 5-10% of rig levels...will cause substantial additional problems.
