Bank ID (the Swedish e-identity provider the user I'm replying to is talking about) is one of the primary inspirations for eIDAS from what I understand, but there are several improvements in the eIDAS text as it stands right now, primarily zero-knowledge proofing.
I don't share your pessimism about the development time-frame for this, we already have 2 good more-or-less compatible wallets on the market in Sweden, Bank ID and Freja, if the companies behind those want to they could probably compete for becoming the standard implementation in many markets, meaning very little time before it's operational.
