There's a perfectly good standard 32A connector. (or 63A if you must).


Stop messing about, 125 A three phase or about 90 kW. Sort of power
required to charge an electric vehicle in the time it takes to fill a
fuel tank. Slight snag is domestic supplies are, at best, 100 A
single phase, a mere 23 (ish) kW.


I know I've only got a 60A single phase incoming supply. Which is why I
didn't bother to mention the bigger stuff.
