This is not true. There is plenty of capacity at night and stations can store capacity at night locally at the charger location, no stress on the grid, for use in the day using batteries which can be scaled up massively if needed. They may not cover the full day, but they can smooth the curve enough to solve the problem you have in mind. And if it’s not enough, again just add more batteries.


Do they actually deploy batteries at charging stations? Now this sounds ridiculously expensive and inefficient.
