EV Charger 22 kW

An efficient charging station for electric cars is of great importance, an excellent example being the 22 kW charging station. There are many types of charging stations available today, including the powerful 22 kW variant. Charging stations vary in power, including 3.7 kW, 7.4 kW, 11 kW and, of course, 22 kW. The right capacity for your situation depends on your electricity connection.

A single-phase connection is suitable for 3.7 kW and 7.4 kW charging stations, while a 3-phase connection offers better performance with 11 kW and 22 kW charging stations. It is essential to know the charging capacity of your vehicle when choosing the right charging station. If your vehicle can charge with 22 kW or more and you want to achieve the highest charging speed, a 3-phase charging station is recommended. Moreover, 22 kW charging posts are often equipped with a Type 2 connection. Ultimately, it is the battery capacity that determines the charging time.

22 kW EV charging station charging time

The 22 kW charging station charging time is significantly shorter than other charging stations. It has the ability to charge an electric vehicle significantly faster than charging posts with lower power levels, such as the usual 7 kW for home use and 3.7 kW when using a standard socket.

The charging time can be significantly reduced by a 22 kW charging station, depending on the battery capacity of the vehicle, compared to slower charging solutions. The exact charging speed is affected by the specific electric vehicle you own. However, with this powerful charging station, you are assured of a significant improvement in charging performance.

Advantages 22 kW EV charging station

The advantages of kW 22 charging station - like the Zappi V2.1 - are clear. This charging station is virtually indispensable for charging your EV.

2. Versatile deployment: This charging station comes into its own in various locations. Whether at public charging stations or at home, the 22 kW charging station offers the required higher charging capacity. Useful if you need to charge several cars.
3. Enhanced EV-Adoption: With its ease of use, the 22 kW charging station contributes to promoting the use of electric vehicles by offering a better charging experience.
4. Better dynamic charging: Do you have a dynamic energy contract? Then you can reap maximum benefits when tariffs are very cheap for a while. An off-peak period of two or three hours is often enough to fully charge your car.

Drawbacks 22 kW EV charging station

We are also 22 kW charging station disadvantages to consider. Despite the faster speed of a 22 kW charging station compared to some alternative options, it is still possible that it will take some time to fully charge an electric vehicle, especially if the vehicle has a large battery capacity.

Installing a 22 kW charging station can involve significant electrical connection costs, depending on the availability of the electricity network and the infrastructure required.

frequently asked questions

Does a 22kW charger need 3 phase?

A 22 kW EV charger normally requires a 3-phase connection of 32 amps per phase. If you have a standard 3 x 25 amps connection at home, in many cases you can still have a 22 kW charger installed in combination with a Dynamic Load Balancing device. This clever system ensures that the available power is distributed automatically, preventing overloading. In addition, a separate group in the meter cupboard is necessary, including the appropriate protections such as an earth leakage circuit breaker. For a safe and correct installation, we recommend always using a certified installer. This way you can be sure that everything meets safety standards.

Is it worth getting a 22 kW charger?

A 22 kW EV charger is a smart investment if you want to be prepared for the future of electric driving. As electric vehicles get larger battery capacities, a 22 kW wallbox gives you the flexibility to charge at higher speeds when your car supports it. Even if your current vehicle only charges at 7.4 kW or 11 kW, the charger automatically adjusts the output to match your car’s capabilities. What makes a 22 kW charger especially valuable is its speed and convenience. It shortens charging times, especially for EVs that can charge via 3-phase, and makes daily use more efficient. You spend less time waiting for a full battery, which gives more freedom in your day. Choosing a 22 kW charger now means you’re ready for the next generation of electric cars, without needing to upgrade later.

How long to charge EV with 22kW charger?

The charging time of a 22 kW charger for electric cars depends on the battery capacity of the vehicle. On average, with 22 kW you charge around 100 to 130 kilometres of driving range per hour. Below is an overview of average charging times:

However, the actual charging time depends on the charging capacity of your car. For more information on your electric vehicle's charging time, enter your car's details on this page.

Can you use a 7kW cable on a 22kW charger?

Yes, you can use a 7.4 kW cable on a 22 kW EV charger, but the charging speed will be limited to what the cable can handle; in this case, 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32A). The EV charger and car will automatically adjust to the lowest common denominator to ensure safe charging. In practical terms, this means that even if your EV charger supports 22 kW and your electric vehicle is capable of charging at that speed, the 7.4 kW cable will bottleneck the charging process, and you’ll only charge at single-phase speed. So, while it’s technically safe and compatible, using a lower-rated cable like this doesn’t let you benefit from the full power your 22 kW charger can offer.

How many amps for 22kW charging?

A 22 kW EV charger uses a maximum of 22,000 watts of electrical power per hour during charging, which amounts to about 32 amps per phase for a 3-phase connection. In total, the charger therefore uses 3 x 32 A at 400 volts AC voltage. This means that your installation will be heavily loaded during charging, especially if you use other heavy devices at the same time. Of course, the actual power consumption depends on how long you charge and how much power your car is drawing at that time. For example, if you charge for one hour at full power, you will consume 22 kilowatt hours (kWh). If you charge for four hours, that comes to 88 kWh. In practice, consumption will often be slightly lower, depending on the charging capacity of your car and whether Dynamic Load Balancing is used.
