There are a few other systems available. I think ABB have a few load balancing models.I'm looking for solutions to have 2 charging ports, in order to charge 2 EV:s at the same time, but with a load balancing. I have 3-phase mains with 25A breakers each (Finland, 230V), which won't allow 22 kW charging on one car, nor simultaneously 2 cars with 11 kW each either. But I could theoretically do 18 kW to one car, and with load balancing have 2 cars charging 9 kW each at the same time.
I figure 22 kW option on the on board charger won't be that useful, so for the CT I've opted for the Euro spec standard 11 kW.
Asking around, there doesn't seem to be many home charger options to fit the need for load balancing in the 11 kW (solo) and up from at least 5 kW each (dual) charging. But this one provider Innohome, suprisingly or unsurprisingly from Finland, came up that seems to have just that: https://innohome.com/products/charlie/
So this Charlie seems to be the best way to go for 2 cars. Not a bad name either. Finnish electric stuff have excellent reputation in general too, no complaint from a local there. But just to make sure, does someone know of other Euro solutions for 2 cars balancing? Again, given that the house has Euro 3-phase mains with 25A each. Charlie all the way?

Nice. That's the unit I'm buying if I ever feel the need to change from the charger supplied with the car. I have a 14-50 - 60A circuit.I installed a Wallbox Pulsar Plus Level 2 charger connected to a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A circuit, charging up to 9.6 kw speed
I went this route because I didn't want to get the bulky mobile connect charger with my car (sticking with the smaller standard mobile charging cable) and everything I read about programming charging schedules on the Taycan is kind of a convulted mess configuring the charging profiles.Nice.

I watched a video where a guy in a truck runs over the Grizzle to demonstrate the strength of housing! I think it is Canadian made too. Good choice!This is the charger for my wife’s Etron.
This is what I have for my Taycan.
Decided to go with the highest rated “smart” charger (Chargepoint) and the highest rated ”dumb” charger per Inside EVs reviews. So far both have been flawless.
Yep. I wanted a little more rugged charger for the wife’s car. It is in a detached unheated garage.I watched a video where a guy in a truck runs over the Grizzle to demonstrate the strength of housing! I think it is Canadian made too. Good choice!
