Wall connector Gen3 using only one phase instead of three.

Hi,

I've recently installed Wall Connector 3gen in my garage.
I had 3 phases already prepared for wall box to charge my plugin hybrid.
I've connected all three phases, neutral and ground.

I've set current limit to 12 amps and I've plugged in my car.
It's working and it's charging, so I've installed WallConnector Plus app on my phone and open charger information.
That's what I saw:

Grid Voltage ~230V - fine
Voltage a ~230V - also fine
Voltage b ~230V - also fine
Voltage c ~230V - also fine

Current a - 11.8 amp
Current b - 0.6 amp
Current c - 0.2 amp

Question is, why wall connector is not draining ~3 amps from each phase equally?
 
You will probably get different results when different vehicles are plugged into the same 3-phase Wall Connector. For example, VW e-Golf has a 7.4kW on-board charger in Europe and only uses two of the three phases. Your vehicle probably only charges on one phase.

Yeap, you are completely right about it.
I've checked my car socket and pins for L2 and L3 are missing.
