The amount of additional electricity that will be needed is an easy calculation and has already been done. If all gas cars were replaced today with electric vehicles, the amount of electricity consumed would increase by approximately 25%. This doesn't include trucks. I suspect diesel trucks will be around longer than gas cars. Since the transition from overwhelmingly gas cars to mostly electric cars (at least for new car manufacturing) will likely take 15, or more, years, the required increase in power generation can be planned for.
