+10000000 for what epirali said - the ONLY way a EVSE/Charger "knows" what a circuit can handle is via the kind of PLUG-Adapter the unit is currently using…
there is _NO METHOD_ to "check" what a circuit can handle - the Porsche Unit and Tesla unit "imply" the correct current (volts * amps) from the current adapter attached to the unit.
you should only be using the sorts of adapter that match the breaker and wiring for the plug you are plugged into.
this is what can happen if you try and pull 40/50 amps across a 30 amp circuit - good thing the metal box stopped the fire
