Re: Answer me this...

The vast majority of EV charging happens overnight. There is *massive* unused capacity overnight, so much so that soaking some of it up will be a benefit for the power companies.

Then you can start using the EVs as localised storage for the grid, feeding back a little of the stored energy at peak times, which is a further benefit for the power companies.

There is no problem.
