The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

    The move to EVs will not happen overnight. Expect it to take a few decades.

    Texas’ (and California’s) issues are due to massive deregulation. Having extra capacity than is necessary esta into profits. So companies try to only have as much infrastructure as absolutely necessary. Additional AC use from “100 year” heatwaves (that are now happening every few years) were not really something they planned for and since they do not have the extra capacity, there are issues. They basically just have to properly model it…or have a more regulated market that makes sure there is additional capacity.
