The feed to the homes is usually 60A, so that will supply 6 standard sockets. Better not be cooking if they’re all on charge.
But there is no way that the transformers or lines can cope with a few suburbs charging tens of thousands of cars every night.
The average number of cars per household is 2 and they will require an average of 6.6kWh each per day.
Your situation is meaningless except to confirm your intention to exaggerate the situation. For every home with 5 cars there will be others with just 1 or none. Homes that house higher than average numbers of people and cars will have problems due to overcrowding and the limits of services available to the property. For the average home it wont be a problem but others will need to increase the service level to match the high occupancy level until it gets back to normal. 5 cars aint normal.
