Not a problem so long as bureaucracy doesn't get in the way too much. The US has gone through explosive demand in electricity before. TOU can be leveraged more, etc. I'm not worried about electricity supply or reliability with the EV transition. I just don't like government forcing a specific solution on people because they're too stupid to know what solutions are best, or the economic impact of their decisions.
