In homes with single phase EV charging installed, the charging station can either provide 16A at 230V (which is essentially a standard EU wall outlet worth of power) or 32A. This of course gives you the same power and requires the same wiring as a 16A or 32A single phase charging solution in the US. All public charging is 3-phase and when I asked my brother, he did not hesitate and said that of course he installed a 3-phase 16A charger on the side of his home facing the driveway. I do not know how common it is to install a 16A charger, because that is equivalent to plugging into a wall outlet and gives you up to 3.6kW. In fact I think that is the reason for the early Leafs having a 3.6kW charger. Cor.
