The Level 2 charger for the Tesla is 48 amps, but remember that's at 240V. That's only the voltage from the transformer on the pole to your house. Neighborhood service is usually 15kV-30kV. So the draw on the neighborhood's lines is only 400 - 800 milliamps. Depending on the wire used in the neighborhood (AAC, ACAR, etc.) they should be able to handle between 800 - 1500 amps per wire.
