App shows 16A with option for lower, but car was clearly pulling > 16A?

Just charged at my first 22kW charger, knowing the Model Y will only use 11.

The car was charging at around 44 miles per hour, which correlates with tables I’ve found for 11kW charging.

But the car and mobile app showed 16A, with a left arrow to pick lower.

240V x 16A does not equal 11kW charging, right??

Have I forgotten my GCSE Physics, or do the details shown while charging not really confirm the current draw?

It's 3 phases so 16*3, or 48A. The app will have had a 3 next to the 16A figure.

Ah!! Yes, there was a 3 next to the 16A. I forgot to ask about that too.

Excellent, thanks!
