It's not like you're home completely stops drawing power at night... You've still got large energy draws running. Fridge, AC, Freezers, Water Heaters, Fans, Alarm Systems, Outdoor Lights.
All you've really turned off are lights, tv and computers. Ovens, Dish Washers and Laundry units aren't a constant pull.
Also... People aren't going to be plugging in at 1 am or something.. it will be between 6-9pm when they GET HOME. Which is prime time for the electrical grid. And it's not 1 car per household... You've got mom, dad, and kids all gotta get their EVs charged.
We're not talking about electrical draw for a single home, it's the whole grid. Yes there are some things running at night, but it's a fraction. EV charging occurs in the wee off peak hours when rates are lowest. Yes you plug in when you get home but the chargers are smart and schedule the charging to actually start in the dead of night when the utility has low rates....cause there's nobody using it.
