Most Japanese houses do not have parking garages or private parking spaces, so the ability to charge from home is irrelevant.

But in any case, single phase is fine for home charging and it's the default in many parts of the world. Three phase charging is a nice luxury, but far from a necessity.

In many Japanese cities you won't get a permit to buy a car unless you can prove you have a place to park it. Curbside parking isn't a thing.

So in those cases it really is irrelevant whether you can charge or not =)

Indeed. And it's not so difficult to make a rule that wherever car parks and parking spaces are built, chargers must also be provided.
