Incoming voltage monitoring is a requirement for EV chargers in the UK. The sudden huge demand would result in a voltage drop, the chargers would then detect the under-voltage condition and they'd stop charging.

Would the voltage drop before the fuse blew in local transforms?

Modern grids have batteries to manage instantaneous spikes of demand so there’d be a race.
