EV owners: What's your charging experience been like?
It will take eight hours to charge a typical electric vehicle from empty to full using a Level 2 home charger, assuming a usable battery capacity of 70 kWh and a charge rate of 9.6 kW.
How does battery size affect charging? A larger battery will take longer to charge than a smaller battery, all else being equal. EV battery sizes today range from around 30 kWh to more than 200 kWh. To illustrate the impact of battery size on charging time, consider two EVs, both using Level 2 charging at a rate of 9.6 kW, which is the best-case scenario for home chargers utilizing the common NEMA 14-50 wall outlet. One of our EVs has a usable battery capacity of 40 kWh, the other 80 kWh.
DC fast-charging stations are the most expensive way to charge up your EV, and a full charge sometimes approaches the price of a tank of gas. This is due in significant part to their high installation and maintenance costs. We also should note that extended use of DC fast chargers is hard on the battery due to the higher temperatures generated, which can shorten its lifespan. DC fast-charging stations are best used for road trips or when you need to top off for a long day of driving.
Canva What determines a car's max charging speed at a DC fast charger? As noted, DC fast charging bypasses the onboard charger and delivers electricity straight to the battery. It allows an electric car to receive more electrical current and charge at a faster speed. In the DC fast scenario, the charge speed is governed by the vehicle's battery management system.
