How long does electric car charging take?

Charging times vary greatly, depending on the type of charger as well as the size of your car’s battery, the level of charge remaining, the temperature and the maximum rate of charge the battery can accept.

Generally speaking, however, the following rough timings apply when charging.

Public DC ultra rapid/high-powered charging (150-350kW) = 20 – 60 minutes

Wall socket (2.4kW) = 24+ hours

Home wall box (3-11kW) = 7-12 hours

Public AC charging (7-22kW) = 4-7 hours

Public DC fast/rapid charging (25-150kW) = 1-2 hours
