Heck, just running two everyday space heaters off of a duplex outlet will trip the breaker serving that outlet. EV chargers draw a substantial amount of power for long periods of time. This thread isn't about one EV in a 100 site park, it is about what will happen if a large percentage of RVs have an electrical vehicle as either their tow vehicle or their dingy. And on top of that, maybe some electric powered class A rigs as well. It really doesn't matter if you overnight or stay several weeks since you are likely to be using the vehicles regardless. No RV park has an electrical system engineered to add those loads to the existing demands of the RVs. It will require a massive upgrade as I outlined previously.
I really don't understand the upgrades that would be needed anywhere to the electrical supply at an RV park. Most all electrical vehicles can be charged using 120v, it just takes a longer time. but if you're RVing than you would have to stay at least a few nights plugged in.
