22 kW three-phase EV chargers, compared

A 3D model of a house at night: three glowing cables run from a street supply cabinet into the house, and an electric car charges on the drive from a wall charger.

How it works

What three-phase changes

A 22 kW charger needs three live supply cables into your home, and only speeds things up for cars that can take more than 7.4 kW on AC.

  1. 1

    Check your supply

    Most UK homes have a single-phase supply: one live cable, which tops out at 7.4 kW for a charger. Three-phase needs a supply your network operator would have to fit or upgrade.

  2. 2

    Check your car

    Your car’s onboard charger sets the AC limit. Of the 46 cars we cover, 37 take 11 kW and none takes 22 kW.

  3. 3

    Then pick a charger

    Seven chargers here have a 22 kW version. On a single-phase supply they charge at up to 7.4 kW like any other.

11 kW Single phase: one live cable up to 7.4 kW 11 kW Three phase: three live cables up to 22 kW Car’s onboard charger Battery
Most homes have one live supply cable, and a home charger tops out at 7.4 kW on it. A three-phase supply has three, so a 22 kW charger can offer 22 kW, but the car's onboard charger sets the speed: the most any of the cars we cover takes on AC is 11 kW.

Charging speed

How fast would your car charge?

Pick your car to see what it would draw from a 7.4 kW single-phase charger and a 22 kW three-phase one.

The MG4 EV SE Long Range takes up to 11 kW on AC.

On a 7.4 kW single-phase charger

On three-phase the MG4 EV SE Long Range charges at 11 kW instead of 7.4 kW, so 20 to 80% takes 3 h 56 min instead of 5 h 50 min.

Usable battery, AC limit and miles per kWh from our electric car data. 20 to 80% is 60% of the usable battery at the power shown, ignoring charging losses; it assumes the car accepts the full 7.4 kW on a single-phase supply, so check your car's handbook.

Installing

Getting one fitted

  • Ask your installer which supply you have

    Three-phase homes have a different meter and fuse arrangement. If you are single phase, an upgrade goes through your network operator.

  • Load management on three phases

    On their 22 kW models the Rolec EVO, Rolec Zura, Sync Energy EV Charger and Wallbox Pulsar Max need extra sensors or a meter, sold separately, for load management. Ask your installer what yours needs.

If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500. The EV chargepoint grant on GOV.UK (checked October 2026).

Quick answers

Questions people ask

Which home EV chargers have a 22 kW three-phase version?

Seven of the 26 we cover: the Andersen Quartz, myenergi zappi, Rolec EVO, Rolec Zura, Simpson & Partners Home Plus, Sync Energy EV Charger and Wallbox Pulsar Max.

Do I need a three-phase supply for a 22 kW charger?

Yes. 22 kW needs three live supply cables. Most UK homes have single phase, where a home charger tops out at 7.4 kW. Your installer can tell you which you have.

Will a 22 kW charger charge my car faster?

Only up to your car’s AC limit. None of the 46 cars we cover takes 22 kW on AC: 37 take 11 kW, so on three-phase they charge at 11 kW rather than 7.4 kW. The rest take 7.4 kW, 7 kW and 6.6 kW.

Can a three-phase charger also use solar?

All seven have a solar mode on at least one model: the Andersen Quartz, myenergi zappi, Rolec EVO, Rolec Zura, Simpson & Partners Home Plus, Sync Energy EV Charger and Wallbox Pulsar Max. On the 22 kW models, the solar sensor is in the box for the Andersen Quartz, myenergi zappi, Simpson & Partners Home Plus and Sync Energy EV Charger; the Rolec EVO and Wallbox Pulsar Max need an accessory sold separately; and for the Rolec Zura the maker does not say what is needed.

Where these facts come from

  • The maker’s own documents

    Every fact on this page comes from our charger library: 11 documents cited here, from data sheets, manuals and product pages, checked October 2026. Supplier lists are each supplier’s own, checked November 2026.

  • A to Z, never ranked

    Nobody pays for a place in the list or the table. Paid positions are labelled and sit outside both, one at a time.

  • “Not stated” is not “no”

    Where a maker’s documents do not say, we say so. We can make mistakes, so always check with the manufacturer and your installer first.
