No you have to upgrade to 3 phase supply.
A very simplified example to help you understand is that 3 phase has 4 cables connection(plus 1 for earth). Single phase only has 2 cables connection(plus 1 for earth).
So a single phase cannot supply a 3 phase equipment. Of course there are other technical reasons, but I think the above example should be sufficient enough.

Correct, but boy96 is using it as a Single Phase box, hence he mentioned backward compatible.

hmmm more and more I think about it, if we go to words EV with fast charging 22kw, better to have solar with battery installed, so that we can tap into it, else, with 3-4 cars at home, the electricity bill will be significant?!
