America is being hit by a huge surge in blackouts — and it's only going to get worse

These increasingly extreme temperatures cause outages in a variety of ways. When everyone cranks up their thermostats or blasts their air conditioning, it increases demand for electricity and strains the grid's capacity. Heat also causes power lines to sag, which increases the risk of contact with trees, and frozen temperatures can freeze power-generation equipment. 

EVs increase demand further causing increased strain plus this added demand, particularly at night, prevents transformers from cooling down sufficiently leading to increased transformer failure.
