Why does nobody talk about the surge in EV charger installs in older neighborhoods?

Last week in my own 1950s subdivision, three houses on my route got permits for Level 2 chargers. It makes me wonder how you guys are handling the panel upgrades and load calcs for these old services.

Panel upgrades are a pain, but old houses don't care about our feelings.

My neighbor's 100 amp panel couldn't handle it. They had to do a full service upgrade to 200 amps before the electrician would even touch the charger install.

But what if they just got a slower charger?
