Also because weโ€™re already stressing electric infrastructure with what we use now

This is propaganda.

On the hottest day last week Ontario hyrdo demand was ~24000MW, last night it went as low as 12000MW. There is room to almost double the baseload in Ontario, with actually smart appliances and controls (not Smart^TM^ shit) a ton of fossil fuel heating loads could be replaced with electric without needing any grid level upgrades.
