Does charging an EV take too long?
At a public DC fast or ultra-rapid charging station, expect to take between 20 to 60 minutes to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent.
And, consider: if you’re going on a long road trip, you’ll likely need that time for a rest stop regardless, especially when with children.
Ideally, if you can access a plug at home, the EV can conveniently recharge overnight when it’s not in use.
A standard three-pin domestic socket will trickle charge enough driving range for most families daily needs and can fully replenish in one to three nights (when electricity is cheapest).
Using an installed single-phase 7kW AC wall box can guarantee a full recharge in one night for most models (if required).
