I assume that most EVs in the UK would be charged overnight at home.
Doesn't the UK have the same situation as the USA with there being a
large surplus of power at night, and shortages only happen during the
daytime? Widespread EV use is generally found to *help* the grid, by
leveling power usage and reducing the need for peaking plants.
Also, I cannot imagine any scenario where a country would suddenly
switch to EVs. It will take *decades* to slowly replace the existing
ICEs. That gives the power companies plenty of time to plan and build
for the change.
