“On a 100* day, the homes around here remain pretty warm with AC running until 11p, 12p, even 1a.”

Significant charging can be done from after midnight.

“EVs require around 32A@220V to charge.”

Not true. A 110 v charger can give you 40+ miles of range drawing little more than a hair dryer.

“Not true. A 110 v charger can give you 40+ miles of range drawing little more than a hair dryer.”

Proof?

From what I’ve read, large vehicles should be charged 40A@220V. Smaller ones can use 110V, and will draw about 16A.

“Typically, the most range you can add with 120-volt charging, called Level 1, is 5 miles in one hour’s time, and that’s if the vehicle you’re charging is an efficient, small EV. “

Do you have any expertise in this stuff, or do you just make things up? Because if a hair dryer draws 16A, you would need a special 20A circuit to run it. Most home outlets are 15A.
