This kind of thing always seems overblown to me. Can't electric companies, you know, upgrade their gear?

Sure, if you waved a magic wand and suddenly every ICE car was a plug-in EV, you'd have widespread blackouts.

There is no magic wand. People are adopting EVs gradually which means that power companies can stay ahead of the adoption rate and upgrade capacity as needed.
