Typical French house has 40-60 amp service. Spain even less, sometimes as low as 20 amps. The smallest practical services are normally fitted in these countries because electricity rates are higher for a larger service. Don't know about Spain, but many EVSEs supplied in France are available with interfaces for signalling breakers in the main panels. The breaker monitors total household load. If it approaches the system limit, the breaker will signal the EVSE to throttle the EV charger to keep the total load below the max.
