Not sure you understood what I said but right now there is a massive discrepancy in day and night time electrical demand. EVs don’t displace any electrical demand.... they add to it because what they are displacing is hydrocarbon fuels.

If the concept of ICE being replaced by EVs is accepted as a reality, wouldn’t it make sense to structure things so that all charging is done essentially at night? If done during the day, the only way to do that is build out far more electrical generation and you still have the discrepancy between demand during the day and night.....

Indeed. Start charging massive numbers of electric vehicles at night and that discrepancy will start to disappear.
