Most owners can charge their EV at home because most of them have their own garage.
It works that way now.

If more than 50% of the cars are replaced with EV, then situation will be totally different.
Not all of them have their own garage.

Also, 40A all night is actually quite a bit.
Most of the older cities will need new power grid.

If EV work for you that well, why aren't all of your vehicle EV?
It works because you have other cars.
