How can the US power grid struggle with ACs in the summer, but be (allegedly) capable of charging millions of EVs once we all make the switch?

Currently we are told the power grid struggles to handle the power load demand during the summer due to air conditioners. Yet scientists claim this same power grid could handle an entire nation of EVs. How? What am I missing?

My husband does R&D for a power company and they are currently working towards making EVs sort of back up batteries that can support the grid while they are plugged in. Essentially you would be able to sell energy back to the grid if the battery on your EV is charged.
