Good day!
This isn’t directly about house construction, but since many electrical experts read this forum: What would be a reasonable upper limit for an occasionally used appliance in the kitchen? A kettle typically has about 2 kW, and I believe that’s close to the maximum because it already draws nearly 9 A. Standard household outlets are rated for a continuous load of 10 A, as far as I know. If I were to connect a crepe maker with 3 kW, it would draw around 13 A, possibly for half an hour. That’s too much, right? So when choosing a crepe maker, it’s best to go for one with a power rating around 2 kW, isn’t it?

xMisterDx21 Jan 2023 01:54VW limits the charging power for its ID.x models to 2.3 kW, which exactly corresponds to the 10 A that a standard Schuko socket must be able to carry continuously according to regulations. BMW also specifies around 2.3 kW charging power for a Schuko socket...
I’m not really concerned about what BYD or Schisselaweng do; if they draw 16 A, they can go ahead and risk actually setting the house on fire.
German manufacturers limit their charging power on a single-phase Schuko to 2.3 kW. And there is a good reason for that...

It is true that the charging bricks included with the current ID3 deliver 10A, but the car can accept AC charging at 16A per phase. The e-Up came or comes with a 13A ICCB (in-cable control box) and uses that current, as did the first edition of the ID3 during ramp-up phases. There is also the ID Charger Travel, which can provide up to 16A per phase.
