The early Teslas would do 80A single-phase, which would get you 20kW. It doesn't really make sense to install larger OBCs in an EV that will rarely get used. IT made sense before DCFC was widely available, but it's largely a waste for a normal consumer EV. Doesn't matter if it's 3-phase or single, still need the power conversion.
