Electric cars

This is what has been bugging me.
Imagine a family with two electric cars. 100HP (75kW) engine each -
not too big, is it? On an average workday each driver commutes for on
hour (lucky guys, aren't they?).
It makes 150KWh energy needed to recharge the cars.
Assume 10 hours (overnight) charge. It means 15kW of power (minimum)
is delivered to the house.
Do we have an infrastructure to support it?
Am I missing something?
