Where does the 500% increase in electrical capacity to switch to EV's come from? By that, I mean how is it calculated? Even assuming a 500% increase in electricity needed (not realistic figure, that's a lot of juice), it does not have to come from the grid. The electrical source can be very disperse, coming from solar fields and roof top solar.
Industrial metals production can be mostly done with electricity. Steel production, foundry operations and aluminum refining can be done with electricity. Aluminum production has electritly based for years.
Remember, the carbon hubbub is not about petroleum use, but carbon dioxide release. Huge difference.
