Also power generation capacity needs to increase for everyone to drive EVs. Just think of all the power that is currently handled by burning gas in personal power plants.

Though some of that will be mitigated by less need to refine gas and transport it to every gas station.

This isn't really the case, as there is a lot of spare electrical capacity available at night time, which is when most people charge their cars. That's also when electricity is the cheapest.

We charge our two cars off of a 110 volt charger. It uses less electricity than the water heater in our house.
