Charging at Public AC 22 kW
Public AC 22 kW chargers use a three-phase connection at 32A per phase. They are less common than 11 kW chargers but can be found at some public charging locations and workplace installations.
Important: The Citroën ë-Berlingo's onboard charger is limited to 11 kW (3-phase), so it cannot use the full 22 kW. The effective charging power is 11 kW, and the charging time is the same as at an 11 kW charger. This is a common source of confusion. The charger may show 22 kW available, but your car will only draw what its onboard charger supports.
Whether a 22 kW charger is worth seeking out depends on your car. If your car's onboard charger tops out at 11 kW, a 22 kW charger offers no speed benefit. Check your car's specs before assuming faster AC charging.
