No disagreement here. Like I said, it all comes down to how you charge these EVs.

We are going to have to parallel deployment of large ev fleets with huge investments in elec generation and grid capacity.

My fear is this is going to come too little and too late.

We won't need new generation and grid capacity for night time charging for at least 10 years, and wind can easily grow to the size needed in that time.
