I don’t know if there’s an advantage with grad schools, but you’ll drive yourself into burnout if you do. That’s never good. I’ve only really taken the absolute most rigorous courseload possible–for me, this was Math 210B, Math 131, CS106B, Physics 121, Spanish conversation–for one quarter, and it was horrible.

OP, be careful. First, double-majoring is very difficult when one of them is engineering, from what I’ve heard. Second, consider restricting yourself to three classes in fall of frosh year so you’re not swamping yourself with work at the same time as you’re adjusting to Stanford. Third, you may not get PWR assigned in spring quarter, and if you don’t, there’s not guarantee you’ll be able to get it changed.
