The problem often voiced with EVs was the general grid does not have capacity to recharge that many cars.

Old wives tale, or rather disinformation spread by Detroit and/or the petroleum industry.

Biggest demand for electricity is morning before 9am, and afternoon after 4pm. The time when the grid has unused capacity is overnight and late-morning to early-afternoon.

As it turns out, the two periods most like to be used for EV charging are 1) overnight, for people with home charging, and 2) daytime, for people charging at commercial stations.

Will it be an absolutely perfect inverse fit? Probably not, but the issue of EV charging over stressing the grid is wildly exaggerated.
