Grid is already overbuilt. It has to be built for max demand everywhere but Texas apparently, lol.
Grid is built to supply your home with the rating of your panel. Your car will take only 30-40 amps and charges over a number of hours. You aren't charging 300 miles each night, most likely under 80 most nights.
That coupled with the decrease in demand from led light bulbs and other more efficient appliances over the years makes it really a moot point.
If there is any issue beyond this, it'll be more than offset by the massive amounts of battery storage about to hit the grid over the next decade.
