EV Charger limited output

DPA has sold a couple of EV chargers including installing one at our office and all work well except for one customer that has experienced only 4.7kW of charge on both a Mercedes EQA and EQB. Vehicle data sheets confirm the vehicle onboard charger is 3 phase but should charge up to 10kW with a single phase EV home charger. The house is grid connect in metro Sydney (good 240V) circuit is capable of supplying 32A and is only a short run of 3 meters or so to the EV charger.

Does any one have any thoughts

Morning. Is the grid power limited in the GX device? (Input current limit in Multi settings) Perhaps that's max solar and it's configured for using excess solar only.

Extra information - This site is a grid connect site with no other Victron gear, other than the Victron EV charger. The installer & homeowner have checked that the max amp setting on phone App is set at 32A. Both cars have charged at higher rates at other chargers both 3 phase and single phase. Thx Ponzoa for your comments.
