Should charge at 3kW. The car controls the charging rate; is the battery nearly fully charged? If so it will limit the rate.
Home charging won’t exceed 1.7kw on 3 pin.

Cable is perhaps limiting charge speed, for example this EQC standard cable end for 3 pin 240v maxes out at 8amp and 1.7kw -
Or if cable is higher amp such as 13amp then perhaps car limits to 8amp if it can't get it's next higher preference of 16amp, but I am just making a newbie guess there

What does the label on the box say? Mine clearly states a max current of 8A.

Mine draws 7.7A

At the time, grid voltage was about 243V and the on-board charger has a near-unity power factor

And that was showing up as 1.8kW on the dash and in the app.
Assuming you've got the same box, and it too is drawing 7.7A, then your slightly lower power (1.7kW Vs my 1.8kW) is probably just down to local voltage variations.

do you know what….I’d looked all along the cable….nothing that makes any sense.
the box though its different to yours does have 8amps on it.
Annoyingly if inspected the cable and read the markings on that and nothing there stated any capacity clearly, but the box though different to yours states 8a 🤬
From the manual:

That just means the same user manual is used across the variants. Turn to the label to determine which one you have: 10A for you, 8A for me. It seems there's a 16A version for those who have installed a 20A outlet.
