These are vehicles which most can schedule their charging to take advantage of low electricity prices and therefore low demand.
The uprating needed is quite insignificant.

Quote on that? A developed country like the US has problems even now, see California (with the yearly fires there) or Texas. And how do you solve the "last-mile" connections without regularly starting fires everywhere? (on account of all those higher-voltage thingies being closer to residential units).
