MODERATORS
That's bullshit. I calculated this for Germany a while ago. I took driven kilometres for the entire year and all cars (which are well known due to regular inspections), average power usage of electric cars from Spritmonitor and ended up somewhere around 20% increase in all of Germanys electricity usage if all the cars turned electric tomorrow.
20% is less than the difference between a Sunday and a Monday, the grid will be able to deal with that. Local distribution is probably not made for everybody to pull 22kW between 18:00 and 22:00, but that's what dynamic pricing is for.
And there is also an unknown amount you can subtract from that demand which is the massive electric pumps that pump fuel into those ICE cars and between tanks in the petrol stations and from the depots into tankers that will no longer be needed.
