There are currently 32 millions passenger cars in France, so for 1,473,000,000 kWh by 32 millions that's ... 46 kWh per car.
Most cars have more than that as battery so when all car are electrified, put together and filled up they can power France for a day without any other generation source.
France peak demand is about 100 GW so that's 3.2 kW per car.
It's a tiny amount relative to the power of the motor.
It can flow through a nearly normal plug (16A 230V).
And this is for the worst day of the year.
