Wondering how long it’ll take to charge up your new EV? Electric car charging time depends on a number of factors, so there’s really no one-size-fits-all answer. For one, electric vehicle battery packs vary in size and in terms of charging speed. Moreover, there are different types of public and private chargers that charge at different rates. The home charging stations that most EV owners choose to install can provide a full charge in seven to 10 hours.
In other words, you won’t have to do much charging while out driving in Dillon if you fully charge your EV overnight! In the guide below, we’ll go over the basics of electric car charging times and answer commonly asked questions about powering up an electric vehicle.
Your new Nissan LEAF or ARIYA comes with a Level 1 charger, which most drivers use as a backup. Level 1 chargers provide an estimated four miles of range per charging hour.
We strongly recommend hiring an electrician to install a Level 2 (240V+) charger in your home since they offer a much faster electric car charging time than Level 1 chargers. Level 2 chargers provide an estimated 24 miles of range per charging hour.
You’ve probably seen Level 2 public charging stations in parking lots at grocery stores, at gas stations, and in other places around Sumter. These offer similar charging speeds as Level 2 home chargers, although they can sometimes be slightly faster.
The fastest method is Level 3; the electric car charging time here is a fraction of Level 2. However, rapid chargers cannot be installed at home and are usually only located along highways and freeways. Level 3 chargers provide up to 60 to 100 miles of range per twenty minutes of charging.
How long does it take to charge an electric car that must be plugged in, but doesn’t run on electricity alone? That’s known as a plug-in hybrid or PHEV, an electrified vehicle with a battery and an engine. A PHEV battery is smaller than the battery in a fully electric car, so it doesn’t take as long to charge. Most PHEVs have an electric car charging time of 1 to 4 hours.
