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.
