Most drivers prefer plugging in at home or nearby, especially overnight. While this offers convenience, it creates problems for the power grid, which is already under stress during peak evening hours.

Wildly misleading title. Overnight charging doesn't pose a problem, charging in the evening may pose a problem. All EVs today have scheduled charging so you can plug it in when you get home but it won't charge until nighttime where load and price are low. This is a non-issue, it has already been solved for everyone but the most dense idiot consumers.

Have to start scaring the public with “ev bad” stories so banning them will be a more supported option.
