Electric cars will ruin late night listening?

My system sounds best late at night. I run passive conditioners. Everyone is a sleep, no one is running stoves, microwaves, A/C is running less, the transformers are working less. 5,10,20 years from now we all have electric cars. Everyone is fast a sleep with there electric cars plugged in for there 4 to 8 hour charge every night in my neighborhood,, my city, my state. What will this do to the sonics of our system or the quality of the power coming into our homes?

I did say mains powered generator, to avoid the air pollution and noise.

But I'm sure you're right.  There are fools on here that would think the fuel could affect the sound.

Over here in Europe a better question is whether there will be any electricity to run hi-fi and homes once hundreds of millions of electric cars have taken it all.

Here in sleepy UK we haven't completed a large new power station for more than 25 years and we have to buy electricity every year from France.  Who threatened to cut off Jersey (a small British island near their coast) last year.

As to noise on the public electric line, has anyone thought of using a mains powered electric generator to drive the hi-fi?  No noise enters the system from the public line and no pollution/noise from a ICE generator.  Think of all the money you'd save on tweak power cords/fuses/conditioners/etc.
