How long does it take to charge an electric car?

 

This is one of the most frequently asked questions from prospective electric car users. In all honesty, it does take much longer than filling your car with petrol or diesel. However, charging your electric vehicle can be done at convenient times as they can be left unattended as they charge. This means that much like your mobile phone, simply plug it in overnight at home or at the office while you work.

 

How much you charge will also be different to what you were used to when using a petrol or diesel-fuelled car. Usually, car drivers will only refuel when their car shows low fuel or the warning light comes on. This is largely down to the inconvenience of having to make multiple trips to a petrol station. However, with electric cars, you are encouraged to top up (as you would with a mobile phone) when you are at a location with an electric charge point.

 

How long your EV takes to charge will depend on a number of factors:

 

  • The size of the battery
  • How many miles you cover between charges
  • Your charging habits, do you top up when you can or wait for your battery to run low?
  • The power rating of the charger you are using.

The seasons will also affect how long your battery lasts once fully charge. For example, in summer, your battery will last longer. However, in the winter months, you will need to recharge or top-up more often due to the battery performance in different weather conditions.
