Not related to a VW install, but I went to a ‘dual’ CCS/Chademo location one time, and as no one was using it I plugged in (and paid...) to top off some of the battery. While there, another user plugged in to the CCS side. I finished my lunch, and the other driver was standing near her car. She said that at that particular pylon, the first one on had to finish before the second one would start up. She had some problems there in the past when people would unplug/end her charge so the other side would start.
I’ve also seen some that divide the available power between the two sides - so if a second car plugged in, the ‘50 amp’ EVSE was suddenly only putting out 25 amps. Still faster than L2 (due to higher voltage) but not by much.
