Three-Phase AC Charging
Three-phase AC charging uses all three phases of a European power supply to charge an electric car faster, typically at 11 or 22 kW.
What is Three-Phase AC Charging?
The car’s onboard charger decides the maximum AC power. Many cars accept 11 kW; fewer accept 22 kW. Single-phase charging is limited to around 7.4 kW. In Turkey and most of Europe, homes with a three-phase supply can install an 11 kW wallbox.
How it works
Power flows through three conductors at once, tripling the power at the same current.
Why it matters for your car
A 22 kW charger will not charge faster if the car is limited to 11 kW. Wallbox installation must be checked by a qualified electrician.
