Maybe I'll check this character out as you suggest, but I'm backlogged as it is...
That said, your generalization is generally not held to be true. It's especially not true where I live considering the bulk of the electricity is hydro derived.
Often the efficiency of something is reflected in the price. Electricity costs less per mile as a "fuel", and is therefore more efficient almost regardless of the energy source.
Increasing off-peak load can only improve the electricity infrastructure because it tends to level the differences between base and peak loads.
EVs are no salvation, but neither are they our damnation.
