The speed at which you can charge at home depends on several factors, particularly the charging capacity of your charging station and the power of your electric car. In general, there are three common home charging speeds:

  1. Normal charging: Normal charging takes place via a regular socket (Schuko) using the charging cable supplied with your car. This is the slowest charging speed and is usually used for occasional charging or when no other options are available. The charging capacity is usually limited to 2.3 kW, which means that charging the battery proceeds slowly. With normal charging, it typically takes several hours or even a full day to fully charge the battery, depending on the size of the battery and the remaining charge level.

  2. Accelerated charging: Accelerated charging is usually done using a special charging station connected to a power outlet (also known as a 3-phase connection). The charging capacity can range from 7 kW to 22 kW, depending on the charging station and the capacity of the electric car. With accelerated charging, an electric car can be charged faster than with normal charging. It generally takes a few hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the charging capacity and the remaining charge level.

  3. Fast charging: Fast charging is typically done at public fast-charging stations that offer higher charging capacities. These fast-charging stations can provide outputs from 50 kW to up to 350 kW, depending on the type and availability of the station, as well as the compatibility of your electric car. With fast charging, an electric car can be charged with a lot of range in a short time, usually within 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the charging capacity and the capacity of the battery.

It is important to note that the charging speed can also vary depending on the specific electric car and the technical limitations of the battery. Always refer to your electric car’s manual and the charging station to confirm the maximum charging speed and compatibility.
