11 kW 3-phase home charger: fast, safe and smart charging at home

Want fast, worry-free home charging without hassle around your grid connection? With a home charging station, you can charge your electric car quickly while dynamic load balancing keeps your household safely within its limits. We clearly explain what an 11 kW 3-phase charging station means for you, when to choose 3-phase, how to save smartly (dynamic tariffs and charging with your own solar panels), and how we make installation and daily use as simple as possible.

We speak from experience: we develop and manage both the hardware and the software ourselves, ensuring everything works seamlessly together — from circuit board to app.

What is an 11 kW 3-phase charging station?

An 11 kW 3-phase charging station uses three phases (3×16A), offering an ideal balance between speed and efficiency. The cable running from your meter cupboard to the charging point contains five wires: phase 1 (brown), phase 2 (black), phase 3 (grey), a neutral wire (blue), and an earth wire (green/yellow).

Thanks to the three-phase setup, you can charge your electric car significantly faster than with a 1-phase connection, without needing a heavier grid connection. With 11 kW of charging power, your car is fully charged overnight and easy to top up during the day. Whether you drive a lot every day or simply want to be future-proof, an 11 kW 3-phase charger is a smart choice for home or work.

Stress-free fast charging thanks to load balancing

Turn on your oven, induction hob and heat pump at the same time and your total power consumption can peak. Our charging stations with load balancing prevent your electrical installation from being overloaded. Using a P1 dongle, the charger monitors your home’s real-time energy usage and automatically adjusts the charging power.

When household consumption drops, the charger automatically increases charging speed again. This way, you benefit from the power of 3-phase charging without tripped breakers or costly grid upgrades.

11 kW vs. 22 kW: which is the better choice?

An 11 kW (3×16A) charging station is ideal for home use. Many electric cars charge optimally at this level, and overnight charging easily prepares your car for the next day.

Many competitors also offer 22 kW (3×32A) chargers. However, for home use, these rarely provide any real benefit. Very few cars can charge at 3×32A on AC, and most Dutch household connections are limited to 3×25A.

In our view, 22 kW chargers are often marketed simply because “22 kW” looks good in brochures. By deliberately choosing 11 kW, we’ve built a charger that generates less heat and requires fewer components, making it more affordable for you.

For a 75 kWh battery charged from 20% to 80%, you’ll be done in roughly 4 hours — more than enough time at home, especially overnight.

Smarter and greener: charging with your own solar energy

With our True Solar control, your 3-phase charging station adjusts its charging power to match the output of your solar panels. When solar production is low, the charger can automatically switch back to 1-phase charging, allowing you to use a much higher percentage — often close to 100% — of your own solar energy.

Ready for the future: prepared for bidirectional charging

You benefit today from stability and smart features, and you’re ready for the next step — such as feeding energy back into your home — once your electric car supports it.

Frequently asked questions about 3-phase charging stations

Do I always need a 3-phase connection for 11 kW?

Yes. 11 kW requires a 3-phase (3×16A) connection. If you currently have a 1-phase connection, you can request an upgrade from your grid operator (for a fee). Have questions? Feel free to contact us.

Is load balancing necessary for an 11 kW 3-phase charger?

Load balancing is strongly recommended. It ensures you stay within safe limits when other high-power appliances are running, allowing you to charge as safely and quickly as possible. 

My car can only charge at 7.4 kW. Does 11 kW still make sense?

Usually, yes. It depends on whether your car charges at 1×32A (7.4 kW) or 2×16A (7.4 kW). In the latter case especially, a 3-phase / 11 kW charger is a good choice. Another advantage is future-proofing: if your next car supports 11 kW charging, you’ll already be prepared. 

Can I charge using only solar power?

Yes. In the app, you can set charging to prioritise or exclusively use your own solar energy. When solar output is low, you can define a minimum charging level to ensure your car is always ready to drive.

How do 11 kW and 22 kW compare in terms of cost and usefulness?

On paper, 22 kW is faster, but in practice it rarely is — because most cars and home connections can’t support it. For home use, 11 kW 3-phase offers the best balance between speed, cost and grid load in almost all situations.

Am I ready for bidirectional charging?

Your charging station is prepared. With bidirectional charging, an electric car can do more than just charge — it can also supply power back to your home, appliances or even the grid. While most cars don’t yet support this feature, experts expect adoption to increase over time. It may take months or even years, but with this charger, you’ll be ready when the technology becomes available.

Can I install it myself?

Any modifications in the meter cupboard must always be done by a certified installer. The rest can usually be done yourself. Want to know how? Read our guide on installing a charging station yourself.
