I imagine running multiple outlets to your garage, provided you have one, will be an expensive up front cost for many people.
Yep. Although I would probably incorporate couple of 220v outlets into the garage if I were doing a new build now just to futureproof it.
Retrofitting an 60+ year old house is going to be expensive.

As mentioned, it is not just adding a couple of circuits. Most spec homes have 200 amp main service. With modern all electric homes, this taps out most of that 200 amps.
Now throw in one 50 amp charging service or two charging stations and you now have to upgrade to 300 amp service. That ain't cheap
