EV Charging station & RV use
It seems that electric vehicles have a couple standards for charging stations but the ones that are free (like Volta) likely have a J1772 plug. It'd be great to just get 30A out of it. Anyone seen any...

The guy who I caught stealing electricity lives halfway up a condo tower. That condo has 157 suites, if each unit had only ONE EV just how big a panel array do you think they’d need?
Existing panels are probably fine. I assume a condo is separately metered. Just add a 20 amp or 30 amp 240v circuit to each panel and plug the cars in.
Probably fine?
Never mind a place like California, Ontario Canada has 600,000 condo units, if only HALF of them added just a single 20 amp charge circuit and plugged in at 6pm after getting home from work........
300,000 units at 20 amps on 220 volt, equals 1,320,000 kilowatts.
Even here in Ontario, the land of hydro-electricity’s birth, the grid is maxed out on hot days. Add that much more load and start lighting candles. Oh, wait, EV’s don’t charge off candles.
Probably NOT fine ........
