The big problem with the electrical grid is that it needs to be stable in order to function.
The 'old' way was to produce always as little as possible and when needed push tha gas pedal.
The new way has some difficulty with this: sometimes sustainable sources produce too much and sometimes too little [or none]. And you don't want to pedal more suffocating gasses.
Other than using the power when it's available,
there might be a solution to that: a two-way-use of the EV battery [V2G]:

"Nov 29, 2024
We need electric cars. And ideally, we’d charge them using renewable energy. But wind turbines don't always spin and solar panels don't work when it's cloudy or dark. So how are we going to charge the millions of power-hungry EVs that are hitting our streets every year? Well, it turns out that – rather than being part of the problem – electric cars and a technology called vehicle to grid could actually be part of the solution."
