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?

EVs are a very flexible demand. Charging doesn’t have to happen as soon as you plug in for most cases. That allows the load to be shifted away from peak hours. That’s very valuable to the electrical grid and why utility company are already willing to pay customers for this demand response capability.
