How Long Does It Take To Charge an Electric Car?

Charging an EV at home is similar to charging a cell phone. During the day, you might charge it on and off, as needed, and then give it a full charge overnight. However, if you don’t have a charging point at home, you can fully charge up at a public charge point during the day. An electric car can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours or more to charge.

• If you’re using a 7-kW charging point and your car has a 60-kWh battery, which is typical for most electric cars, it will take under eight hours to charge your vehicle from empty to full.
• Most drivers don’t wait for their batteries to reach empty to charge. Instead, they opt for a top-up charge, which is when you charge your battery before it hits empty.
• Most electric cars will take 35 minutes to add up to 100 miles of range with a 50-kW rapid charger.
• The length of time it takes to charge will depend on the speed of the charging point and the size of the battery in the EV.

EV drivers are concerned with the time required to bring their car from an empty to full charge. It’s helpful to know how much a top-up charge will add to their range, so they know how far they can drive.

• The fastest way to charge your EV is with a rapid charger. A rapid charger can add 60 to 200 miles of range in 20 to 30 minutes.
• Most home charging points have a power rating of 3.7 kW or 7 kW. A higher power point, such as 22 kW, relies on three-phase power, which is rare for a home charger, as it is expensive to install.
• All electric cars can charge on compatible charge points with a higher maximum charge rate than they can handle. They simply charge at the maximum rate they can accept.
