I'll be surprised if, as more and more people adopt electric cars, at some point there won't be massive power grid failures on a regular basis. It isn't designed for that sort of load
The power grid wasn't "designed" at all. It started over a hundred years ago and has been growing ever since, thanks to engineers, linemen, and power plant technicians.
Adoption of electric vehicles will come about gradually and the grid will be built to handle it. It's not like fifty million people in the US are going to buy Teslas tomorrow and suck it all at once.
They coped with massive electricity use gains during the 1920s, they'll cope with this.
