As mobile charger is getting higher and higher power, so I check how much power a charger typically consume compared to other home appliance. Found the chart below.
I have heard a typical home power socket should be able to provide 13A x 240V safely, which is 3120 watt. That will cover almost all the appliance above except water heater. How does water heater draw their power so much and yet not causing a power trip?
I wouldn't trust the chart to be honest. The power started is too high for many appliances.I have heard a typical home power socket should be able to provide 13A x 240V safely, which is 3120 watt.

Also nowadays everything is 220-240v so that's as low as 2860W for each SSO.
To answer your question though, water heaters are fed through a dedicated line with larger current capacity, typically at least 16A and higher. The same goes the for high power appliances like air conditioners and electric hobs as well.
