This absolutely depends on your location. My power company recommends charging at night, when the grid isn't as strained. My area primarily uses hydro and wind, and this article seems to be talking about solar which is not very efficient here.
Much of the study is focused on the area around Stanford, which has access to a large amount of solar power nearby, so it would make more sense there.
