Realisticallty - if it was a new norm - what additional cost would it be

Most comments seem to consider charging a single car.

A lot of families are two car these days, especially in suburbia and
outwards.
We were 2 car when we were both working.
Teenage kids at home can easily lead to 3 or 4 car families.

At what point does it become infeasible to charge multiple cars overnight
using a single 80 or 100 Amp 2 phase supply?

Noting in passing that a decade or so back planning for new builds
restricted parking to 1.5 cars IIIRC so most new build parking is likely
to be in communal bays not on your own property.

You are saying that everyone you know uses up the maximum range of their
car every single day? Do you re-fuel your existing one every single
evening, then?

I thought TNP or someone had estimated current car usage from a
countrywide petrol supplied/annum figure. Doesn't this lead directly to
a total mileage/charge requirement if we all went electric?
