The rising use of EVs would certainly exacerbate that problem because a high power demand can cause electrical equipment to fail! One weakness is that you rely on the grid to keep your vehicle charged, and the grid is not always reliable. Outages will become more frequent when everyone starts buying EVs. What do you do when there's an outage and your car is only at 30%? Hopefully you have an ICE as a backup.
