A standard EV has an average recharging time of between 7 to 10 hours, though there's plenty of variation between models, depending on the car's battery size.
Charging speed depends on whether you're using a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 charging station.
- Level 1 chargers (AC) allow you to plug your car into a standard power point and will give you about 10-15kms of charge per hour
- Level 2 chargers (AC) provide around 40kms of charge per hour using your regular household electricity.
- Level 3 chargers (DC) can charge a car up to 80% of its capacity in less than an hour.
