Exactly. The only way to control it may be to put timers on the chargers. Plug in when you get home and the charging start when your house is scheduled by the power company.
The power company will have to continue to upgrade their infrastructure to meet the demand of the consumer. We see it every day now when our clients upgrade their service to handle their smart homes.
The cars can be configured so that you can set a charging schedule. The power company can create a system that can work with 10 cars or 10000 cars by dividing up charging power per home based on whos plugged in.
None of this stuff is out of reach and none of it will happen over night so i dont think there is anything to worry about. And lets not forget...we aren't all going to be relying on the power company. As we move forward the goal should be that each structure is responsible for its own power needs. Solar/wind and energy storage technology will continue to move forward and hopefully in 20 years you can charge your car up every night for free.
