Yes, the biggest issue is grid support and energy production. In total, if all daily driving was replaces with EVs overnight, it would increase electricity demand by ~25% total (or ~80% in residential use).
Still, expanding the grid is a no-brainer, because everyone who comes off petrochemicals are going to need electrification. So, if you can't expand the grid (slowly over time) you have bigger problems.
