So the researchers are saying there is more load during mid-day but there is also excess capacity due to solar, and that is better than charging at 3am with low load but also low generation from renewables?
That's how I read the article, yes.
It's a little confusing, because they seem to also be speculating on how power generation and load will be in the future as well as people's charging habits.
