How long does it take to charge my car?

​

The time it takes to charge an electric car can be as little as 30 minutes or more than 12 hours. This depends on the size of the battery and the speed of the charging point.

​

• A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty to full with a 7kW charging point.

• Most drivers top up the charge rather than waiting for their battery to recharge from empty to full.

• For many electric cars, you can add up to 100 miles of range in ~35 minutes with a 50kW rapid charger.

• The bigger your car’s battery and the slower the charging point, the longer it takes to charge from empty to full.
