I was asked a theoretical question earlier, which I didn't know the answer to.
My youngest son has an electric car and at home has a dedicated charging station.
When he visits me at my home, if he has a lot more running around to do, he sometimes tops up, by plugging in to my domestic supply, via a domestic 3 pin plug adaptor.
If on the rare occasion, he visited me while I had my van hooked up on site, would topping up his charge by plugging in to a 3 pin socket on my van, be too much output for my van electrics and could it cause damage, or just trip the RCD ?
Would it be a simple matter of checking what his car takes, compared to what the EHU delivers, or do the maths change by putting my van in between the two.
