For most people in urban and suburban areas, a grid connection is going to be sufficiently financially attractive that the rational thing to do is keep it.
For one thing, maintaining sufficient storage at home to fully recharge a car overnight would be prohibitively expensive, but maintaining a grid connection to allow you to do so is cheap.
The process of ripping up the grid is more likely to occur (and in fact is already starting to happen) in remote areas. Traditionally urban consumers have cross-subsidised some remote electricity connections but in many cases it’s cheaper to buy those consumers off-grid systems or independent microgrids than maintain grid infrastructure connecting those locations.
