Why would that be the case? When people are at work, the power usage will drop but then spike when they come back. They get home, plug in the EV, turn on the stove/microwave, lights, turn on/up the AC. The power spikes are directly corelated to people being at home. Even if you schedule your EV to charge at night, your AC doesn't stop working because youre sleeping. This applies to the entire neighborhood.
