Current is the effect, voltage is the cause. Current cannot flow without
voltage.
If you have a leakage of the current or another parallel path, the voltage
will drop causing increase ampere, there will be a differential of ampere

Even if not permanent, there're ways of creating grounds -- including driving a
rod or looking for something conductive

No, it is not voltage it is current. If the current is

OEM EV is pretty broad. What does their user manual say?
The ground is for your safety. You can buy double insulated hand tools
that use no ground on 120VAC. Is your OEMEV "double insulated?" If not it
is strcitly at your own risk. If you are going to wing it, then I guess
you could poke

That is true. I'll have to dig through the user manual and the shop
manual. I don't expect to find out anything about this in the user
manual. Especially
The safety concern is that you have no protection ground so a ground fault
inside the vehicle may result in the body of your vehicle becoming live.
I've never seen an RV pedestal without ground though? I though that was
required for any outdoor outlets.

What are the safety issues of charging an OEM EV on 120V without the
ground wire connected? I do have an EVSE which will do this if I put
100kohm resistors between hot-ground and neutral-ground which is what
I have to do to charge with my portable-inverter generator. I'm not
concerned with
