What about a multi-family home that has even more drivers? The entire electric supply would have to be rebuilt to accommodate all the draw.

Every EV on the market can charge from 0-100% in <5 hours from a home Level 2 charger.
4 EVs in a household shouldn't be an issue, either. Today, each of those 4 people have a cell phone right. Imagine if your cell phone battery charge lasted 1-3
weeks at a time, but your entire family only had a couple phone chargers in the house. Surely your family could figure out how to make that work? And today's L2 home chargers
already have the intelligence and connectivity to stagger charging loads among multiple vehicles and account for variable-rate electric plans.
The electrical supply in the US (while not perfect), handled a much greater capacity increase via the buildout of virtually every home in the southern states needing/using central AC over the past 50 years. That takes much more power than the potential of a couple of EVs per every household. And no one said "stop building homes with central air or you're going to wreck the grid".
I'm done with the straw man arguments, you fellas aren't going to buy these BMW M EVs, anyways. More for the rest of us, I suppose!
