The chart you are probably interested in is Figure 5 (bottom of page 4/52). The modelling suggests that EV will improve electricity grid utilisation, particularly in low load periods (like the middle of the day) with only a small impact on maximum demand......

EV adds around 5TWh in 2036. In 2036 they predict that about 12% of vehicles will be EV. So 100% EV will need about 41.7 TWh. I do understand that some of this will come from the excess in supply when demand is lower (off-peak).
