How long does it take to charge my Electric Vehicle?

This article looks at the different factors that affect the charging time of electric vehicles.

The charging time for an Electric Vehicle (EV) varies depending on several factors, including:

• Type of vehicle (whether it is a light vehicle, motorcycle, moped, bicycle, etc.);
• Battery type (different batteries, with different capacities, influence charging time);
• Type of charging cable (there are different cables with different power transmission capacities);
• Intensity and type of current available (if charging is done in a household socket, it takes considerably longer than in a PCR - Fast Charging Point);
• Battery level (if the battery is "empty" it will charge more quickly - up to a certain point - than if it is almost "full", i.e. at a level of less than 20% or more than 80%, the charging speed may be slower);
• Ambient temperature (when the temperature is extreme - either cold or hot - it influences the charging time);
  
  

Is there a quick way to calculate how long it will take to charge my electric vehicle?

The answer, however much we want to standardize it, is never the same in all cases. However, a simple formula for estimating charging time is to divide the battery capacity by the charging power.
