Europe's charging infrastructure is more developed than North America's. Because Europe adopted CCS Type 2 Combo as the common charging standard many companies can build out chargers: - Ionity which has investments from auto makers: https://ionity.eu/en/ionity/who-we-are https://ionity.eu/en/ionity/who-we-are - Circle K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TVohXHjLro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TVohXHjLro - GridServe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoN4WCpuxHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoN4WCpuxHY - FastNed: https://fastnedcharging.com/en/ https://fastnedcharging.com/en/ - BP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaSRn6hYOwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaSRn6hYOwc - Shell: https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/public-charging https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/public-charging - McDonald's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QXo8TuvqQI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QXo8TuvqQI https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/newsroom/article/ev_rollout.html https://www.mcdonalds.com/gb/en-gb/newsroom/article/ev_rollo... - EnBW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpbtgfqrYdA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpbtgfqrYdA https://www.enbw.com/company/the-group/electric-mobility/ https://www.enbw.com/company/the-group/electric-mobility/ And so on and so forth. Europe is just a bigger EV market than North America is right now.

In the USA, everyone else but Tesla is doing CCS (they might also do whatever the leaf wants also, but usually with CCS). The problem is that Tesla has as much charging infrastructure as everyone else combined (and perhaps even more), especially out west where charging infrastructure is weaker due to less population density.
