That's the thing. In some countries that works well... in others not so.

For example Germany has very low home ownership (especially in cities where it would be even easier with lower distances) and very low centralisation and the public loading infrastructure just isn't there (and will need to me massive compared to some other countries), while the US has the home ownership and better centralisation but is limited by their shitty 120V grid.

Smaller or better centralised countries with higher amount of home ownership in Europe on a 230V grid on the other hand work perfectly.
