Who knows. Caution is commendable but if we want to avoid catastrophe we might have to start taking steps before everything is 100% ironed out, which might mean having less reliable infrastructure in the short term.
Our current system is basically just a bunch of inefficient portable ICE generators running around everywhere. Maybe a short term solution is to install large ICE generators (at existing gas stations, for example). Sounds expensive, but inaction will also be expensive.
It helps tremendously that many people will hold on to their ICE cars for as long as possible. I for one plan to run my truck for a long time yet. So we have a long ramp-up time for shoring up the electrical grid.
