The median driving distance in the EU is 30 km. The electric cars on sale use 15-20 kWh per 100 km. Thus daily routine per median will be 5-7.5 kWh. The current will be even less than the parent’s statement.

I recall a study that if 80% of cars were electric in the U.K., it will increase the load on the grid by 10-20%.
