Electric vehicle charging times.
How long does it take to charge?
Fully charging an electric vehicle can take from just under an hour to several hours. Charging times depend on a range of factors, like the type of charging station, your car's battery size and on-board charger capacity, outside temperatures, and other external factors.
Normal AC and fast DC charging.
There are two types of electric vehicle charging: normal alternating current (AC) charging and fast direct current (DC) charging. Normal AC charging is typically less energy-intensive which makes it much slower. When you charge at home using a conventional plug or a wallbox, or even at some public stations, you will be using AC. Fast DC charging can be completed in under an hour and is typically only found at public charging stations.
