In most cases, it is not necessary to have three-phase power for charging an electric car via a charging station. Most home charging stations can be connected to a standard 230V/16A outlet, similar to a normal socket.

Most home charging stations have a charging capacity of 3.7 kW to 7.4 kW, which is suitable for charging an electric car overnight or for a few hours. These charging stations can be connected to an existing electricity connection in the house, provided it has sufficient capacity.

However, if you want to install a charging station with a higher charging capacity, such as a charging station with a capacity of 11 kW or higher, you may need a three-phase connection, also known as three-phase power. Three-phase connections have a higher current capacity and can offer a quicker charging time.

It is important to check what connection and capacity you have available in your fuse box before purchasing a charging station. An electrician can assess the electrical installation in your home and determine whether a standard single-phase connection is sufficient or if a three-phase connection is needed. They can also assist with upgrading the electrical connection if necessary.

It is advisable to consult with a professional installer or a specialized company that installs charging stations to make the right choice based on your specific situation and needs.
