Not in ten years

Not a problem, because the average age of cars on the road is over ten years (at least in the US, I assume the UK/EU is similar) so even if we started selling 100% electric cars today we wouldn't have even half the cars on the road be electric in a decade. The transition will take a long time for the cars, meaning we have a long time for any necessary utility upgrades.
