Barely. Grid regulation has exploded in cost in the last few years.

> We have 25 years to upgrade until majority of customers will switch to EV. That is a lot of time.

A lot of infrastructure has been barely, if at all, maintained for far longer timespans. The 2018 fire, for example, was caused by a worn-out hook that may have been at least 88 years old [1]. What makes you think that utility providers will do the necessary upgrades in that time?!

How some fire in USA is relevant to our (European) infrastructure?

[mschuster91]

Because our infrastructure isn't in much better shape, not since the EU all but forced privatization and the new owners focused more on shareholder returns than on maintenance.

We're living on borrowed time.
