A 1974-built house near me seems to have had a 3-phase
charger installed (it looks a lot bigger than the normal
type 2 car chargers) and EDF closed the road while they dug
a trench, presumably because there was a higher capacity
cable on the other side. Houses built on both sides of the
road.

Surely the whole point of using 3-phase would be that it was *smaller*
than the same power in single phase.
