This is not numerical or factual, yet people seem to uncritical repeat this claim all the time. Can you say why you are repeating this? Did it hear it from a source you trust? (If so, you should probably stop trusting that source right not.) EVs are fantastically more efficient than ICE vehicles, like 4-5x as efficient in terms of amount of energy needed for the same miles travelled. Our ICE engines are so primitive that it's really kind of embarrassing, honestly. If every car switched to an EV over night, that would only increase power consumption 30%-50%, depending on the state. And it turns out that there's way more spare capacity than that in the grid, because the grid is sized for peak consumption, not average consumption. So there's plenty of extra grid and generation capacity, especially at night time, which is why night time electricity is so cheap. But we are not going to switch to EVs in an instant, we are going to gradually switch over. The biggest change will be that after a long period of stalled or falling electricity demand, it will slightly increase. But it will be extremely flexible demand, which will make it far easier to power the grid. Car charging is a huuuuuge boom to the grid because of this massive load that will be made very flexible.
