Of course, if you cite extreme examples. But, I think, the article was
about cars and domestic charging.

I can tell you that the power needs ARE a concern.
The CEO of one trucking company that uses alternative fueled trucks of varying
technologies, blanched when told that two Tesla trucks would require 2MW for
charging, when his entire site had capacity for only 4 MW.

Well, the article imprecisely referred to "high speed chargers." Do you think
they are concerned by everyone using level 2 at the same time ?
Second, the article mentions a cul-de-sac as an example case. I think it
matters a lot where people charge. If the L3 chargers are in a residential
setting, they will put more load on a system already near max during peak
periods. Commercial already has much higher capacity and L3 chargers probably
don't add so much additional load. Correct me if I'm wrong.

First, why do utilities think people will install level 3 chargers ? A
small percentage of people really do drive that much every day,
I think the utilities are expecting that people will use Public level 3
chargers during the day and private level 2 at night.
I.e. for the majority of people, their vehicles are not home during peak
solar, and perhaps also not home during the early evenings.
From the utlities point of view, it doesn't matter where they charge, only
that they are charging.
