KW/h don't exist and don't mean anything. kWh is a measure of energy and for exemple the capacity of an EV battery. kW is a measure of power. The max power of a charger is defined in kW. So when you use the 32 A blue socket, the Tesla charger can deliver 7.4 kW of power to your car battery.
At home regularly plug my Tesla charge lead into a 32A commando socket used for my welder obviously this approximates to a full 7kW on UK 230v supply resulting in a charge rate of 20mph to my 2014 Model S P85, one thing of note even when on single phase Tesla sends power in on both L1 and L2 phase pins replicating the split phase supplies wiring in the US but in the UK / Europe that advantage is less volts drop / heat at the charge socket of the car and therefore greater efficiency. In use I note the Telsa supplied charge lead construction is absolute top class with generous cable sizing and when used with even the 32A input adaptor there is virtually no heat generation at the plug ends that would otherwise be present in competitor charge leads especially those sticking to non US convention of single phase in on L1 only (90% of non Tesla charge leads) for those of you with Zero electric motorcycles this is why you will only ever get a 3kW charge rate even if you stumped up for the additional 3 kw on board charger as its wired per US split phase with one 3kW charger on L1 and teh other on L2 so if you plug your Tesla charge lead into a 32A supply and plug it in your Zero it will now use both the 3kW onboard chargers resulting in the full 6kW charge.

Yes you are right 🤔 thanks for pointing it out 😊
It is not a 32 A socket, it´s a 16 A 1 fase I think.

@@slartybartfarst9737 A full 7kW not 7kWh...
@@gsbeak duly noted and changed, not normally a mistake I make but I cant account for the predictive text and a long day.
A like for Trudy!
