Did you watch the video? For a 36 charger station they’re using a 6Mw battery.
It works because the assumption that draw from the chargers is constant is wrong.

They can go to the charger station. And all the people who don’t need to because they do it at home…don’t go to the charger station. Reducing demand even further.

Do you use your entire gas tank everyday? Because 90+% of vehicle users don’t. So there’s no need to pull that much power, again reducing peak demand and spreading out the load.
The things you are highlighting are rooted in fear, not reality. The reality is that ev’s work without the downsides of PHEV. And i say that as a ICE owner jealous of the ease of use, lower maintenance and savings being made by friends with ev’s.
