Or do those of us with old houses have to worry about rebuilding the electrical system to handle?

Most newer homes will have 200 amp service which should be sufficient for 1-2 EVs. Older homes with 100 amp likely need an upgrade, but I’d argue they need that whether or not EVs were on the mix. If you want 3+ EVs - guess that depends on what type of charging situation you need, running 3 cars at the same time will need a lot of juice so you’d probably need to alternate.
