This would be figured out by the smart engineers, as the world uses more electricity every year.
50 years ago we used a tiny fraction of electricity, it will be easily solved its not that complex.
In Norway 60% of their new cars are EVs, their grid is ok.
Shenzen China it has converted all 22,000 taxis and 16,000 buses to electric !!!
Have a look at the smartphones 10 years ago.
