My local solar power plant is nowhere near that kind of output.

Besides the tons of batteries that are needed?

Well besides the times where you drive your car. Also the car's batteries wouldn't last very long due to constantly being cycled.
They are inside the car and that is pretty much the point.

If there are people that want a 200 mile range car, then there are people that want a 600 mile range car with 66% degradation.
Local sourced generation using a rooftop solar panel means you don't need the grid as much as you'd think. Because the energy source is next to your car and your neighbours who could also provide it.
Maybe you don't need that much of a grid update at all, and even maybe quite the opposite if you consider that you car could power your house indirectly using solar power. Best case, you'd be actually the grid even less than you do with out an electric battery in your garage...
