Don't forget that in the EU household circuits tend to support higher loads than US household circuits.

EU typically from what I've read uses 240 V compared to 120 V in the US. They are usually 16 A compared to 15 A in the US.

That gives them 3840 W vs 1800 W for the US, but that would just be for intermittent loads. For continuous loads you are supposed to derate that. In the US the continuous limit is 1440 W. From what I've read it is 2800 W in much of Europe.

At 3.5 miles/kWh that gives 5 miles/hour charging in the US and 9.8 miles/hour in the EU.

In most of the EU that would be enough to cover the average daily commute with 2 hours of charging.
