The charging infrastructure will absolutely be smart enough to moderate instantaneous demand as needed to keep the grid healthy. Likewise, all these batteries will in aggregate form virtual power plants that also serve the grid and make it more resilient. It is definitely “complicated” in the sense that it’s technically sophisticated, but there’s no cold fusion level obstacle to making it work. Just another couple decades of relentless innovation and technology evolution. I absolutely agree that the whole world needs to be hard at work scaling up clean electricity generation and storage as this transition occurs! I do think that the EVs themselves have to play a role in the solving the storage challenge, which requires battery tech to support “spare” cycles to use for storage and delivery alongside the actual driving. The really nice thing is that the economics can work out where dedicating X% of your battery cycles to power storage and delivery pays for Y% of your battery lifespan, where Y > X — in other words it’s profitable for consumers to participate.
