Thanks I will check with my electrician. I will also have 2x22kW station at my office. We have a 100kW AC supply.

Edit
So if am correct @400V I have to go for around 50A to get 20kWh charging.

To be honest I don’t think neceser for home usage but the office station at 22kWh will be nice addition to quickly charge car after arrival.
You will be fine with 3 phase 32 amp 400 volt. The calculations are actually

square root of 3 X amps X volt

1.73x32 x400 = 22.14 kW.

I have the PMCC installed on same circuits, but my car is only capable of 11 kW. Which is plenty enough for an overnight charge. 22 kW will be faster but you need to ask yourself if you really need the PMCC. The PMC+ will charge overnight.

I do not know how common 22 kW public chargers are in Polen, but here I miss my car having that possibility, when travelling.

Thanks. I mainly choose 22 kW onboard for office charging. Faster home charge is just an optional side benefit. I’m also considering 3rd party home charger which will be cheaper then mobile charger but with the same output. especially if there are no additional benefits of having Porsche Wi-Fi version.

In the two years I have used the PMCC I certainly have not found any benefits. On the contrary since it seems to drop the WiFi frequently and needs to reconnect or restart. Waste of money!

yes, but that will not support all the fancy features like charging with timers for the lowest price, as the pmc+ does not communicate via ISO15118 with the car.
If you know when your cheap periods are then you can set the timers accordingly. In UK this is typically a single window of time but there is the opportunity to use up to 4 timers.
