Can infrastructure handle electric cars?

I’m interested in buying an electric car in order to become more eco-friendly, but even without relying on fossil fuels for gasoline, I am concerned about how the electrical grid will handle electric cars as they become more popular. Do we have the infrastructure to handle electric cars?

Wondering how the electrical grid and our infrastructure overall will handle
electric cars
is one of the most common concerns surrounding them.
Currently, electric cars only make up about 1% of cars on the road in the United States, and while they may be growing swiftly in popularity, the switch over to electric isn’t going to happen overnight. As long as the electrical supply is continually managed correctly, the developing infrastructure around electric cars should be able to handle the switch just fine.
