Camping at KOA campgrounds with an electric vehicle (EV)

I don't know why you make a blanket statement "misconception that it will overload their circuitry" because there have been examples that it does. Many pedestals are not built for 100A service (all plugs at max at once). I suspect that many have maybe only 60A breakers.

NEC allows for oversubscription like this. Want an example, go plug a space heater into every plug in your bedroom and turn them on. You probably won't get past two heaters before the breaker trips.

And you've been questioning my reading comprehensions?

Clearly my tone is that some RV campgrounds don't allow EV charging.

But thanks for explaining why. Just have to call in advance when doing reservations then to know if they would allow EV charging.

Yeah, outside of Cali, there are not so modern RV campsites out there and I don't want to be the cause of an outage -- or fire.

Inside California, too. There's one near me that used to do charging but stopped after a fire. Seems like just putting the right breakers would've stopped it, but what do I know? I calculate the breakers on my low voltage projects!

RV camps, however, are still mostly going to be a good source. But just like any other charging point, you're going to want to look up reviews or call them to make sure it's available.

After the recent 3000 miles trip, my consumption has been around 410-420 Wh/mile. I was very well behaved at 75mph (Comfort mode, Middle/right lane), occasionally overtaking trucks but keeping it below 80. I was instigated numerous times by modded trucks, SUV's, hatchbacks, tiny cars but nothing deterred me. The first supercharger stop said 13% on arrival but I was able to push it to 27%. Cancelled/restarted the navigation and it skipped the approaching supercharger. On a 1000 miles trip, I was able to skip 2 supercharger sessions saving more than an hour.

The minute I entered my territory, Drive Mode=Sport, Speed=85-90mph, Second screen Waze activated.

What mobile charger pulls 100 amps? A 60 amp breaker is more than needed.

I certainly don't see any "tone" in

"I heard that there are still full hook up campsites that don't allow it with the misconception that it will overload their circuitry."

except that you don't believe that it is true. And it is indeed true. Just because there's a TT-30 and a NEMA 14-50 in the box doesn't mean the circuit was designed to pull from both at the same time.
More than lively, the TT-30 is pulled off of one side of the NAME 14-50 and the 120V plugs off of the other side with the wiring sized for 50-60A, not 100A
