The impact of an EV that you buy 10 years from now will most certainly be demonstrably less than the EV you bought today.
You will also see growth in another market, PowerWalls.
You can store solar all day and charge at night and never touch the grid.
Current Powerwall 2 can maintain a Tesla off solar alone if you are only driving 100+ miles per day.
It's entirely possible for EV's to not only have zero impact on todays grid but actually have less demand on todays grid a decade down the road.

It's two Powerwall 2's minimum to charge and run the rest of the house, and we get a lot of sun here. in reality, I need three if we go to a second EV, you can daisy chain up to four currently.
