Chicken and egg problem. There's no reason to beef up the electric grid to handle electric vehicles unless you have a lot of electric vehicles to handle.
But when we do start to get meaningful numbers of EVs, the grid modifications will follow, same as when electricity use increased for other reasons, such as A/C.
