I think realistically you're just looking at an AC chargepoint install, similar to a domestic install or is there something more specific or specialised required for your work install?

We chose CTEK Chargestorm 3 phase chargers 22kw AC had three fitted and got to say really pleased with them not cheap but great bit of kit and would definitely recommend

How long will your car stand still at the office ? If you have a 9 to 5-ish day, an 11kw charger will be enough

To be fair, as the OP has a 22kW OBC - if they had 3-phase available at work, for the (relatively minimal) cost difference between plumbing it up for single-phase connection vs three-phase connection - I'd just plump for a 32A three-phase capable charge point and be done with it.

At least then they'd leverage some time/cost benefit from the rather expensive 22kW OBC option.

What's not clear is if this charge point needs extra bells and whistle as it not in a domestic setting (i.e. single private use basically). Things like fob or RFID access, back-office billing charge-back etc. or indeed having a third party own and operate it, like a quasi public charge point.
