Utilities have known this for a while. This is why they keep track of homes and businesses upgrading their service. There isn't a utility in the country that isn't planning on upgrading their infrastructure to get a piece of the market. Nor is there one that so fears infrastructure failure that they are discouraging EV adoption. Quite the opposite actually.
It's always amazing to me that internet randos seem to think that thousands of utility professionals have not thought about this at all and were just waiting for some stable genius to tell them that EVs will increase demand.

Macleans isn’t exactly an internet rando. We keep hearing how unrobust much of the North American grid is, witness PG&E’s failures in California. We’re supposed to believe they’ll be able to easily meet this demand?
