So what happens at 2100 hours when everyone plugs in, has their lights on, are watching tv, and cook a snack?

That will become the peak-usage time. A good excuse the raise the evening rates.

What happens during a hurricane evacuation or blizzard when 100s or thousands of EVs are trapped in creeping gridlock for 12-72 hours?

Last winter in Virginia on I-95 a blizzard trapped a couple 100 cars overnight. The EVs ran out of juice, and were stranded for days because it was impossible to recharge them in place. It meant many, many tow trucks. That was with just a few percent EVs.

What happens when the fleet is 75-90% EVs and there is evacuation or blizzard gridlock? How do all the stuck cars get recharged? Magic?

Gasoline and diesel vehicles can simply be given a few gallons in a Jerry jug and they are on their way. Not so with EVs. They are SCREWED if 100s of them run out of juice between charging stations.
