You are looking at house outlets, I am looking at the electrical infrastructure from the transmission lines to the transformers.
If every one on the block is charging at the same time, especially with apartments, that causes issues with the nearby transformer or substation.
Now if the grid is down in an area, or maybe even a huge chunk of the country, where is there to charge?

We're talking about monitoring and controlling. How is the power company monitoring whether that 1,500W load at your house is a car charging or a blowdryer?
If everyone has EVs, then it becomes the power company's problem as there would be much more electrical demand.
All that energy from gasoline and diesel will be transferred over to the grid.
Yes, but what does that have to do with tracking your car through your charger?
