EV charging is also not that big

A typical level 2 charger is 50a@240v, similar to an electric range that many people have.
It’s also a single digit percentage increase in a home’s typical use
a full transition will take two decades - surely we can adjust the grid as needed over two decades

I read an estimate that full electrification, not just EVs, was projected to increase electrical load 1%/year ….. I don’t remember the data center equivalent but it was several times that

Yes BUT if everyone changed today the grid would break. So we can’t change!
