The charging time of an electric car can vary depending on several factors, including the type of charging point, the power of the charging point, the capacity of the car's battery, and the current charge level of the battery. Here are some general guidelines:
Home Charging (AC charging): Home charging usually takes place with a charging station connected to a regular socket or a specially installed charging point. The charging speed for home charging is generally lower than that of public fast chargers. Depending on the power of the charging point and the capacity of the car battery, it can take several hours to several dozen hours to fully charge the battery. For daily use, this is usually sufficient because you can charge overnight.
Public AC chargers: Public alternating current (AC) charging points often have different power outputs, such as 3.7 kW, 7 kW, 11 kW, or higher. The higher the charging power, the faster the charging time. Generally, you can expect it to take several hours to partially charge the battery, several hours to half a day for a full charge, depending on the power output and the size of the battery.
Fast Chargers (DC chargers): Fast chargers are designed to charge electric vehicles much quicker. These charging points supply direct current (DC) directly to the vehicle's battery. The charging speed with fast charging can range from 50 kW to 350 kW or higher, depending on the charging point and the capabilities of the vehicle. With fast chargers, an electric car can be charged to 80% within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the maximum charging speed of the vehicle.
It is important to note that these are general guidelines and the actual charging time can vary between different car models and charging stations.
