But that is not allowed in Germany. Unbalanced loads are only permitted here up to 20 A. In Austria and Switzerland the limit is even 16 A.

As I look in specification of wallbox from Ford, you have time for full load around 3.5-4 hours. Even if the Wallbox is of 7.4 KW and from calculation you should have 2 hours of charge (14.4/7.4=2 hours) actually the charging speed is only at 3.7 KW (14.4/3.7=3.5-4 hours). Same if you have 22 KW wall box. The maximum amperage for charging for kuga is 16A and only one phase.

So check here to some company that install and comisioning the wallbox

That's not right!

The Kuga also charges excellently with just 6 A (1.4 kW) - even up to 100%.

If I want to charge on a cloudy day, I set the wallbox to the lowest output when I have the time to only charge with excess PV....

Greetings Jörg

The topic was about 7.4 KW. And this is not possible due to fact that Kuga socket is one phase. So maximum speed is 16A at one phase = 3.7 KW. Ford recommends only that two speeds: 10A and 16A. Else depend on your choice and your risk.

If you take a look in Kuga PHEV plugin Socket you will see that is only one phase socket. So it is not availble charging at three phases. Only one phase it is possible and the inverter is working only at two charging rate: 10A or 16A.
