My house is 24 years old.  One 200 amp panel.  Every breaker spot is full.  I would have to lay a new line from the transformer box that is about 100 ft from the house to wire a new panel for an EV car, I think.  Will not be cheap to do so.  I bet 99% of the homes today you will not be able to just add a 50 amp outlet for an EV.  

We have 3 electricians to service our county.  They need to do everything, schools, business, pivots, houses.  They are now super busy.  I can't imagine they have time to rewire 99% of all homes and business for EV hook ups.  It would take years and years to get it done. 



Doubt that your 200 amp panel is loaded anywhere near capacity just because all of the breaker spots are used....unless you have a very large house with all sorts of extras. A sub panel usually can be installed relatively simply to allow for some more circuits including a plug for an EV.

Lived for years very comfortably in a house with a 70 amp service. Electric hot water tank, air conditioning, all electric appliances, supplemental electric heat. A 50 amp EV plug would not have been an option in that situation.
