Exactly right! The excess capacity from base-load generators can handle the night-time charging of several million E.V.s. After that, who knows — but, it’s absolutely not an issue in the near term. In fact, this extra off-peak demand will likely be a huge windfall for generating companies (the cost of base-load electricity is a fraction of peak-load generation costs). While it’s too much to hope that’ll result in cost-savings for consumers; it might, at least, slow down electricity-rate increases.

Putting 100 million cars on charge at the same time will have no effect, right?
