Is this not basically equivalent to installing more batteries on the grid assuming the number of electric cars is mostly unaffected by the availability of employer-provided charging[0]? Those cars are batteries, and midday charging smooths demand the same as grid-connected battery storage[1]. [0] A big assumption, to be sure.
