As much as europe gets wrong, I think they got that one right.

I would have to agree. I lived in Italy for many years, and everything was 230 there as well. My home only had a single breaker, and I think it was something like 5 amps or so, but at least it was not 5 amps of 110v. 110v/120v really sucks for charging, and I would never dream of equipping a car to charge with it if it was not on every wall of every house or business here. The vast 110v charging grid is really the only merit of having one of those inlets on my car.
