Lots of utility grid providers have addressed exactly these problems.
Recently in the UK there were some headlines when the usual suspects in the media published their worst case scenarios as "EVs could destroy the grid!" and the grid had to publish a clarification

Nobody has addressed the infrastructural problem of recharging massive fleets of privately owned electric vehicles. It's a pipe dream that this will all be fixed by 2030.
This will never happen in the US for the foreseeable future. Considering how our broadband surcharges have been siphoned off with nothing to show for it, no amount of government intervention through taxation will fix this. That leaves market forces as the only factor in play for the US. The market is going to stick with ICE cars.
