There has been a bit of a discussion on the forum for the Model Engineer magazine. One of the contributors has a Tesla and he has been sharing his experiences. He stated that he had to charge at 35amps for an hour to do 21miles. So lets say charge to do 100miles that's 44Kwh being drawn at night time That's for one property, scale that up for a street full of EV's and the sub stations will certainly be struggling. If everybody in the commuter belts were to arrive home and do the same, off peak could soon become peak time. OK there will be ways of load sharing between properties during  the night but  there would soon be a lot of disgruntled people if they do not get the power they expected to receive overnight. There is also an assumption that people will plug into their domestic supply. How is that going to work for high density housing like tower blocks? The parking bays will need dedicated charging infrastructure installing, in what is generally low social economic areas. So its unlikely to happen and the tenants will be stuck with petrol and diesel vehicles until forced to change.
