EV owners charge their EV's at night while their sleeping. At least 90% of them.

I live a few miles from Lake Elsinore in Murrieta CA. there is a power company working with the city to convince the public to allow construction of a new power plant and transmission lines. Their plan is to pump water from the lake up the mountain to a holding basin at night then release it back down to the lake through a generating station during the day. If they weren’t gouging us so much for electricity during the day this wouldn’t be profitable. (My summer payments for electricity run $800 - $900 a month)
