Default T8 - anyone on three phase?

We had someone round to install a 7kw charger today. They noticed we have a three phase supply to the house but 2 are not used and the meter is connected to just one wire - so house is effectively normal single phase.

It seems I can get a three-phase meter and then I could have a 22kw charger (won't help with current T8 but am thinking about future electric cars). Apparently electricity supplier may do meter upgrade for free - still a/w confirmation of this.

But apparently tariffs are different - possibly more expensive - is anyone on three phase? would welcome some input on pros/cons.

Thanks!

I moved into a house with 3 phase and a 3 phase meter.

Same tarrifs - even have economy 7. Not sure of the cost of the install of the three phase meter as was done before we moved in.
