Excess power is curtailed when there is no demand and power prices go negative (to stop the production). This happens 200M+ times in US, must be the same even in EU grid. EVs can absorb all this excess production. No need to build any net new capacity. And, EVs will accelerate renewables by providing flexible demand, making renewable more profitable.
