This recent working paper by Robert Metcalfe e.a. for Centre for Net Zero (part of Octopus Group) shows how effective automated EV smart charging is:
"42% reduction in household electricity demand during peak hours, with 100% of this demand shifted to low-cost, low-emission off-peak periods."
Working paper and summary:

Figure shows electricity consumption throughout the day for a baseline and with an EV tariff. During the off-peak period in the middle of the night, consumption is much higher with the EV tariff, while during the peak in the early evening it is much lower.
