Note that increased load from electric vehicles is helpful to the grid, not harmful.
From a reliability perspective, all recurring load is beneficial, as it increases the overall capacity of the grid, insulating it from demand shocks, such as cooling during heatwaves.
But increased base load that can be easily time-shifted is _massively_ beneficial to the grid.
