Most grids run under-capacity when people are sleeping. Hence why energy is usually discounted at those times. I can't remember the exact numbers, but the current grid can support 10's of millions of electric cars in daily use, long as they are set to charge on timers (as most people would to get discounted energy and it's just the most common sense time).
