The Cupra Born charging time depends on the model, its battery capacity, and the type of charging station you use. There are 3 models of the Cupra Born with different battery options: the Cupra Born 150 kW and Cupra Born 170 kW come with a 58 kWh useable battery, while the Cupra Born 170 kW can also be configured with a 77 kWh usable battery.
Using a standard AC charging station, all Cupra Born models have a maximum charging capacity of 11 kW, meaning it would take around 5 hours and 51 minutes to charge the 58 kWh versions and approximately 7 hours and 46 minutes to charge the Cupra Born 77 kWh from 0 to 100 percent.
With a DC fast charging station, the Cupra Born models with a 58 kWh battery can charge at a maximum power output of 124 kW, meaning it would take around 26 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent. The 77 kWh Cupra Born has a maximum charging capacity of 175 kW, meaning it would take approximately 25 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent.
There are a few ways to charge the Cupra Born; the most suitable one depends on your needs and situation. The easiest and usually cheapest way to charge is at home using a dedicated EV charging station. This method allows you to plug in at the end of the day and wake up every morning with a fully charged battery.
If you need to charge on the go or can’t install a charging station at your home, there are two main types of public charging to choose from. AC charging stations are widely available in a range of everyday locations, including parking garages, stores, and restaurants. DC chargers, by contrast, are usually located at rest stops and service stations – while they tend to cost more to use, they can quickly top up your car much faster than AC charging.
The Cupra Born range varies depending on the model:
