Not enough details to take the example seriously. To start, how many amps will each house pull to recharge? If you are using 120V charging (Level 1) then it could be about 10 amps; not a big deal. If is it 240V (Level 2) it could be as high as 48 amps. Depending on how many miles you drive per day, Level 1 could be sufficient. A house with 200 amp service would probably not have an issue with Level 2 charging. A house with 100 amp service could have an issue. Details matter.

I'm sure that's probably older neighborhoods.
