| | | When we can actually charge from a renewable source (meaning roof solar) it's going to be practical and less pollution
I've been doing it for over 7 years with my Model S.
Photons to electrons.
No need for the grid at my home.
As it stands now, if everyone had an EV we wouldn't be able to meet the power needs because our grid needs so much work
A piece of cake. Just not a problem today, in fact for many years now.
The grid can easily grow in capacity by what's needed.

Can The Power Grid Handle A Surge In Electric Cars?
If combustion engines are banned, can the electric power grid really handle a surge of electric cars? Let’s dive into the challenges associated with electric car charging, and the infrastructure required for it to happen at scale. We’ll look at the hard numbers based on US drivers, average miles driven, average fuel economy and energy efficiency, electricity production and distribution, how long we have to implement upgrades, average household energy consumption, how power gets to our houses, local grid problems, smart grids, real world examples of where this has happened, and the future challenges facing electric vehicles.

My comments:
As an electrical engineer I've been designing "off grid" and grid tied PV and wind systems with storage for over thirty years.
It's very easy and economical to do today. Residential and Commercial.
Grid scale PV is the cheapest form of electrical power generation in the world today.
