Nobody is just going to connect a Megacharger to the local substation without a load calculation. Upgrade or limit power as needed.
The point is we are moving forward instead of declaring no more growth of anything because a few wires might get overloaded. Same as putting in a new tract of homes. Happens every day as a common and normal process.
The utilities themselves only welcome more EVs.

Built a few factories, one in rural TN, that's electricity and energy hog. We just gave the electric-distribution companies 2 year advanced notice and they are ready when we start needing the juice.
Never heard myself of progress or something not going through because of insufficient power infrastructure.
And in case of Tesla or Elon Musk, if he can power a city in 30 days in rural Australia, how much difficult do you think it will be to do it in any city or town in this 'ol US of A.
