Solar and distributed storage help fight this. A significant amount of charging off peak also actually reduces the load, making things more reliable and cleaner.

Fire related grid shutdowns are usually hyperlocal, meaning the few who need to charge during that time can just run a town over. (keep in mind that EVs can be charged just less than once a week for average use)

EVs are literally distributed storage, a Tesla Model S has a 90kWh battery -- that's enough to run the owner's house for 3 days.
