How long does it take to charge an EV?

The time it takes to charge an EV depends on the size of the EV’s battery and the speed of the EV charger.

Fast chargers are the quickest way to charge an EV. In just 15 minutes to one hour, a 50 kW – 350 kW DC fast charger can deliver between 200 km – 500 km of range.

Residential or commercial AC charging stations between 7 kW – 22 kW take around four to eight hours to charge an EV from empty to full. However, instead of waiting until their battery is empty to charge, many EV drivers charge wherever they park. Known as the top-up model, this makes AC chargers a practical choice for businesses and drivers alike.
