Warning: My shop's been swamped with EV charger installs lately

I mean, electric cars are popping up everywhere now. Idk, it's a sign that things are changing for the better.

Well, this rush might overload our local power grid.

Actually, the grid's built to handle these peaks (that's its whole job). The real issue is peak pricing making it expensive, not that it'll crash.

Have you tried spreading out when you use big power devices during busy times? I saw this in my area last summer when everyone turned on their AC at the same time. We set up a basic plan to run things like washers and dryers after 9 PM. Also, switching off lights and unplugging chargers when not needed cuts down on power use. This helps balance the load so the grid doesn't get too stressed. What's one thing you could shift to off-peak hours?
