I was told by a Tesla source that this is due to particularly slow bureaucratic procedures for getting a new large-capacity power feed installed in France - hence all the early installations were based on whatever power they could find that was already available without getting the power company to do new work.
He was rather unhappy to have read comments in forums about their "incompetence" in installing only 2 stalls, when in fact they had been busting a gut to get anything installed at all!
Thanks for the explanation (as hard as that is to say as an Oxonian!).
I had guessed there must be some good reason for this beyond Tesla being incompetent. Hopefully the French will soon sort out the processes and allow these things to happen more easily. It makes good economic sense for them going into the future, especially since they have 3 car companies all of which will soon be relying on this kind of infrastructure.
