As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. Shifting to EVs poses a unique problem for the grid: a sudden, massive increase in demand that will be unpredictable and piecemeal. This saves the fleet owner money, and saves the power grid some stress.
