Indeed. If the grid could not expand and would be overloaded, it works also be impossible to add more houses, offices or businesses. But it’s no problem building those and connecting them to the grid, but EV would blow every fuse.
With how Cheap solar energy and battery storage has been getting, as far as I’m concerned there’s no reason that major developed countries can’t start programs to install cheap solar panels on willing peoples yards/roofs/whatever, along with a battery storage container/wall to offset the strain of an EV
If the only thing standing in the way of something is “money”, then it’s a problem that humans are intentionally KEEPING a problem.
Solar/battery is not cheaper than natural-gas peaker plants yet, even today with all the cheapest Chinese panels with Chinese battery packs.
And natural gas home-heating is comparable to a natural-gas peaker feeding a heat pump in overall emissions. (!!!), because capturing near 100% of the heating energy from natural gas is easier than turning natural gas to heat, turning heat into electricity, and then running electrical losses to a home.
