I agree. more electrical power is needed.
But at a capital cost of $1,200 to $5,000 or average of $3,100 per kW to provide the additional 3,070,360,300,580 kWh for EVs and Biden's destruction of
fossil fuel plants, 3,070,360,300,580kWh /365 days/24 hours/day or 350,497,751 kW @ $3,100/kW)=$1,086,543,028,744
where will the $1,086,543,028,744 come from?
Comes from us consumer households of which 123 million will have to pay either directly or indirectly through goods/services by businesses.
Average payment for this $1,086,543,028,744 paid by 123,000,000 households or $8,834/12 months or $736/month added on to our electric bills.
Now mind you this is adding to existing power plants...assuming rules, regulations, Federal/state/local allow AND there is available land to expand.

Lets' start over: I think I have been going wrong somewhere in the math?
Suppose building a NEW power plant costs ~$1000/kW.
Suppose every EV car has a 100KW battery and we add 10million new EV cars.
1TW new additional charge will be needed to charge new batteries.
At cost of $1000/kW for a NEW ELECTRIC plant: 1TW*$1000/kW = $1T dollars (ouch)
are we OK to here? seems very costly.
