With three phases in Europe you get 400v, which means less amps for the same power, which means lower losses or thinner cables?

You can get 400V 3 phase in the US. While houses don't, almost all commercial locations have it already. So most public chargers in the US have 3 phase available. charge at home doesn't, but those tend to be lower power charge all night vs the charge in half and hour commercial chargers.
