Since you got those things wrong...your entire post loses credibility
Since gasoline cars that are parked during the night use zero energy, an EV that is charging is using infinitely more energy.
One third less than gets pumped into gas tanks a day.
Let’s explore how much unleaded gas is sold.

In 2022, about 134.55 billion gallons (or about 3.20 billion barrels)1 of finished motor gasoline were consumed in the United States, an average of about 369 million gallons per day (or about 8.78 million barrels per day).

120,000 BTU per gallon times 369 million divide by three equals what is needed.

The NREL analysis found enormous U.S. wind energy potential. The previous survey pegged annual U.S. wind potential at 10.8 million gigawatt-hours (GWh).

Our Bolt uses about 250 kWh/month, or about 350 Watts averaged over a month. It makes little difference what type of charger you use, what matters is how much you drive. A common wind turbine produces about 3 MW when the wind blows. The typical capacity factor for wind farms in Iowa is about 1/3, so the average output is 1 MW. In other words, a single wind turbine in Iowa would power almost 3000 cars being driven as much as we drive ours. So to power 1 million such cars, you would need perhaps 350 3 MW wind turbines. There are well over 3000 wind turbines installed in Iowa.

There’s always lots of wind energy available at two cents a kilowatt.
