I notice your location is in Normandy so you might be better asking the question on a French forum but if you want to contact myenergi who make Zappi to see if they are available where you are you can email them at [email protected]
I've a zappi but not very happy with it as it's depleting my house battery during the day. There are hardware updates that can be made to correct it but a basic timer function in the zappi would have done the same. Just something to be aware of if you've an intention of having a battery installed in the future.
Im not saying its not a benefit but i should have been clearer saying installing a 22kw and getting 50% functionally would be a disappointment.
But as they've already got 3 phase, why wouldn't they fit a 3 phase charger? They may not be able to use the full 22kW with the MG but they might with a subsequent car. It would hardly be disappointing to only get 11kW if you know it's going to happen due to the car. I recently had to use public destination chargers for a few weeks away from home and I was delighted to get on a 22kW charger even though I couldn't fully utilise it. It was still noticeably quicker than the 7kW ones.
Why do they need a 80-100A fuse per phase?They may have 3-phase capability at their property ... but they don't say what current rating is available for each phase. Unless it's at least 32A per phase (so something like an 80-100A fuse per phase) then they'll only be able to support 11kW charging anyway.

In France the average domestic 3ph supply is 45A per phase so a 22kW would be at the top end but I'd assume they can load limit like we can in the UK so could set the charger with CTs to limit to 45A maximum, or makes such as Pod Point you can turn down the charge rate with dip switches and select 6kW per phase essentially giving you 18kW aggregate.I'll bow to your better knowledge ... I was merely highlighting (badly) that a 22kW 3-phase charge point may not be feasible in a (French) domestic setting.
Unless I misunderstand, that's an unfair slur on the Zappi I think. It has much more than a basic timer and is otherwise very configurable. For example, whilst I don't have a battery, I don't want my MG4 charging during the day as that would cost me £0.42 / kwh (effectively the equivalent of your battery), so I have the Zappi set to charge 00:30 - 04:30 and can leave it plugged in for days without it taking peak charge. So I'd say the Zappi is not a battery thief if setup reasonably.
The issue is how Zappi sees hybrid battery systems as the inverter will be seen as a non grid source of energy and if the zappi is set to solar will drain the battery.Unless I misunderstand, that's an unfair slur on the Zappi I think.

Sorry all this is a little off topic.
