Not so far beyond at all.  A typical US suburban tract home has a 200 amp, 
240 volt service.  If devoted entirely to an EV such an electrical service 
could charge an EV at a continuous rate of over 38kW.  

Many modern "mcmansions," which are often built by the dozens in high end 
developments, now have 400 amp service.  This would allow for a continous 
power of almost 77kW.  

Thus I'd say that the electrical infrastructure for 60kW charging is fairly  
widely available right now.
