Yes, it will use just one phase, at 25 Amps.

So about 5.5 kW.

I thought the Corsa came with 11 kW three phase on board charger?

In any case, you’ll probably find that 25 Amp single phase charging works just fine most of the time. Especially as the Corsa doesn’t have a particularly large battery.

It won't charge at 25 amps I was told, as they will limit the unit to 16 amps, in order to leave some room for other household appliances.

Do you mean the charger is limited to 16 Amps?

 

[cah197]

Per phase, yes. Its total output would be 11kw

It’s just you said it was 25 amps per phase in your OP.

Normally the home appliances can be set up to use a different phase to the one the car is on.

Just charge it up every night.

It’s about as difficult as plugging in your phone each night.

You need to get out of the ICE habits. One of the key benefits of an EV is always having a full tank.
