I have a 3 x 16 amp connection, my home charger is 11 kW. I did use it for a Tesla Model S 85 kW and the first generation MBW iX3 approx 80 kW for the last 10 years.Fast enough. With my new BMW iX3 50 Neue Klasse I have a 800 V platform with can charge AC 22 kW. The old charger was incompatible with the new iX3, so I was forced to have a new charger installed. For 22 kW due to new regulations in the Netherland I should have a new ground cable to my house which would add almost € 1000,- extra to the bill. So I decided to stay with 11 kW and with load balancing with this new generation Easee Charge Plus charger I can direct during daylight all the surplus of my 18 solar panels to the charger, so I had many "free rides" this summer. But bottomline, 11 kW is sufficient in most of the cases. My new iX3 can have 400 kW DC (if you find them), but during a holiday to the South of the Black Forrest that meant it was feeling as if driving an ICE car. With 130 km/h, AC on, passengers and bike carrier 550 km+! You need to stop for some refreshments and sanitary reasons, but the car can still go on. A charging stop for 10-15 minute is often enough. I'm very happy with this last generation iX3.
