Be my guest. Reject it because of a temporary limitation. But be aware, the high speed DC chargers are getting faster every year. Do you think a change in usage patterns of an 80 year-old electric grid will support a 10x or 100x increase in demand? I hope not, but even if they have a 2x demand shows the ability of the grid to adapt is already a miracle of engenuity. Don't point to things you don't understand not working perfectly during a massive increase in demand as proof that EVs are a bad idea. Don't say "they can disconnect you from the grid". Ok, can they shut down your solar panels? Can you drive next door and buy electricity from your neighbor? Does your neighbor also have an oil well and a refinery in their garage?
