Most homes in the EU have a three phase connection and can support 22kW wall charging.

Homes in the EU can draw more power than homes in the US as we use 240V with the same amount of amps. That’s also part of the reason why we use kettles as we can boil water roughly 2x faster (they can draw up to 3kW while operating!)

Most Europeans don't live in single family homes for this to be a practical advantage.
