A 100% switch to electric vehicles isn’t happening overnight. It will take many decades at minimum, and electrical grids will slowly adapt.
Parked cars also don’t need to all charge at the same time. They can do it at night when electricity usage is low, and spread out the load over 8+ hours. The same doesn’t apply for air conditioning on a hot day.
