> How do we upgrade the local grids to have this amperage in each home?
Anecdote alert: The solar panels on my roof generate more power than I use driving my EV. Maybe the future is distributed.

But that price tag is brutal. I assume to solar panel your roof would be around $20k+. Plus the price of an EV. These aren't items you can really buy used either. Old/weak EV batteries aren't "repairable" like an old car is.
It just comes back to my point of it being a nice luxury for rich people. I keep my budget for my vehicles at $5k max. I will never see a new/used EV & solar panel system for that price.
I found at 1200W panel on Amazon for less than $400.
Various realities will substantially increase that number, but it's still not too expensive just to solar charge your car at home if you don't have a substantial commute.
Instability seems to happen at times of peak demand. Which is notable in that it pretty much never overlaps with times I charge my car.
