And electric heat and cooking. This thing lately with trying to ban gas stoves everywhere does not seem realistic. There is a reason everything wasn't done with electricity shortly after it was invented in the first place. It takes an absurd amount of capacity to duplicate the energy delivery of hydrocarbons with electricity. Does that much copper even exist?

'will be banned by 20xx' there will surely be attempts but no way it will actually work.

Banning gas stoves is entirely realistic; Americans have been using electric stoves for many, many decades. Gas stoves were only popular with some because the old 50s-style calrod stoves just sucked, for many reasons, but even back then the electric grid had no problem with them. Modern glass-top induction stoves are far superior to gas cooking in every way. The amount of energy needed for electric stoves is really quite tiny, and very short-term too; it's nothing like that needed for EV charging.
