“Just plug it in overnight” is a concept that most people in 2022 with any interest in electric vehicles are probably familiar with.

Titled Charging Infrastructure Access and Operation to Reduce the Grid Impacts of Deep Electric Vehicle Adoption, the study was published in the journal Nature Energy on September 22, 2022.
