EU Light-Duty Market Overview

The European market has advanced faster than the US for a few reasons. First, interconnection certifications are less complex and burdensome compared to California Rule 21. Second, energy markets are more open compared to the US creating greater market incentive. Third, residential homes are often 3phase which seems to have allowed for easier global product development. Also, CHAdeMO also had more traction in some parts of Europe which is ahead of CCS on V2G capability.
