The moments where the electrical demand is the highest during the day, in addition to being at the time when solar production is starting/is winding down, is the time people are either leaving for their commute and so are expecting to have a full charge, commuting or finishing their commute with partially empty batteries in need of a reload.

Not that this would be and easy thing to do but I always read the demand curve as the best possible reason to have a lot of destination chargers (in addition to home chargers). People are out in the community with their cars during the day when solar production is highest. Start piping that production into those batteries when it isn't needed elsewhere.
