I don't think cars in particularly are going to have a giant impact on the grid just based on when they'll be charged. Sure there will be some people who need to charge all the time or during the day - but its a small percentage of people. 95% of personal vehicle charging will occur at night I'd bet when energy usage is lot lower. They'll be able to drive charging time for people to when they have availability. People drive across town to save $0.03/litre on gas - they'll charge their car when its cheapest as well.

Its just a completely different mindset then what we have now. Currently - we fill up our tanks and then drive around until we notice we are low and then fill it again. With EVs - you are pretty much always starting at full and 99% of drives for 95% of people will not have to charge until the lower demand charging time.
