To make this work the cars would need to be on line during peak demand hours which are also peak drive hours.

Not really. Someone may have the statistics handy, but obviously at any given point in time the substantial majority of cars are parked. Even at peak rush hour in a typical American city, I'd guess that less than 10% of the vehicles are actually on the road at a given moment. Meanwhile, the peak hours for power demand are driven by air conditioning -- midday through early evening -- when most of us are sitting in offices.
