It’s really hard to say how EVs will impact the grid. If you plug in your car for 8 hours, it won’t be charging for the whole time and could even act as a battery to help grid stability during that plugged in time. It will be very interesting to hear what kind of side deals that utilities and car manufacturers will be making to give better visibility and predictability on where the EV vehicles are at any point in time, where they may charge, and how grid load/capacity will vary based on that.
