> If 0% of the vehicles in France were EVs, there would be absolutely zero blackout this winter.

Data source for this? I don't remotely believe you.

The average car (EV or ICE) drives for ~40km/day, meaning EVs don't need to charge every single day. Also, most EVs charge at night. They are not the problem.

Also, France has approx. 200,000 EVs, out of ~38M of vehicles [0]. A rounding error.
