Why does European AC hardware usually tops out at 32A charging when 48A US chargers are not uncommon ?
While shopping for an EVSE with local home assistant support I've found openevse and I am intrigued as to why they sell Type 2 connector limited to 32A vs 48A for US NACS and Type 1.
An other random example, the Tesla model 3 long range appears to have a 32A AC charger in europe while it has 48A in US: `en_gb` [https://www.tesla.com/en\_gb/support/charging/onboard-charger](https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/support/charging/onboard-charger)
> 230 V Single-Phase → 7.4 kW (32 A)
`us` [https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/onboard-charger](https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/onboard-charger)
> 11.5 kW (48 amp)
I understand that unlike the US providing a more efficient three phase supply to a residance is technically possible. So I guess this is why my chinese designed EV only has a 32A 7kw single phase charger but an 16A 11kw three phase charger.
However at least where I live, in France, even tho you can subscribe to a three phase contract for a handfull of € more monthly, almost all habitations are not wired for it and you are looking to redo most of your breaker box which is unrealistic for me.
Note: I don't actually need 11kw charging, 7kw is too much already, just being curious.
