   Stanford study warns against overnight charging of electric cars at   
   home   
   ...

   The study found that the rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and   
   their continued reliance on residential, nighttime charging could lead   
   to a 25% increase in peak electricity demand within a little over a   
   decade. However, if more people charged their vehicles during the day   
   at work or public charging stations, it could reduce greenhouse gas   
   emissions and avoid the added costs of generating and storing   
   electricity.   
      
   Ram Rajagopal, an associate professor of civil and environmental   
   engineering at Stanford and co-senior author of the study, suggested   
   that policymakers consider utility rates that incentivize daytime   
   charging and investment in charging infrastructure that encourages   
   drivers to shift from home to work for charging. The study's   
   implications may also impact utilities in the region, especially after   
   California's decision to ban sales of gasoline-powered cars and light   
   trucks by 2035.
