    Power companies can manage load. The power provider I’m with manages my charging. All I have to do is pick a time when I want it to be ready (the power company not only gives the half rate night pricing, it also pays me to do this). There’s a lot of excess energy at night, off-peak. Millions of vehicles smart charging will balance the load.

      Actually smart grids could rely on all those cars plugging in at once. Because cars can put energy back into the grid too.
