I give simple examples of power load issues and some of y’all take it like a literal argument against just some examples and then the problem goes away. Good grief. Essentially your “easy to accomadate” is just everyone use less power and charge your cars longer".

The argument against your example scales, though. You can do demand management with EV chargers, either at the household level or grid scale. Unless your power supply is running so close to the edge it can’t cope with existing normal usage, adding EV charging in the midnight to 6am period when power consumption is otherwise really low works just fine.

You know much about Tokyo? How many people there do you think live in houses with a garage compared to apartments? Your idea only works for the portion of people with a house and at least a driveway.

What does that have to do with grid demand?

You can’t use slow chargers between midnight and 6 am if you can’t charge the vehicle at your house.
