Charging time speeds for an electric vehicle

by

It is one of the most frequently asked questions by people when acquiring their new electric vehicle and intending to purchase a charger. The reality is that the charging speed of an electric car depends on many factors, such as the battery capacity of the vehicle itself, the power of the charging point, and the maximum power that each car can be charged with. In this post, we will explain the different charging time speeds of an electric vehicle.

The charging of an electric car is directly proportional. If our car has a larger capacity, it will take longer to charge. However, it will also have a longer battery life and, therefore, more range.

Home Charging

This type of charging is generally provided by car manufacturers once you purchase the car. It has a Schüko socket and is not recommended for daily use.

Slow Charging

This type uses a maximum of 16A and 3.7 kW. Normally, it is used in homes or places where the vehicle is parked for a long time, as it requires a small amount of power. It does not require increasing the contracted power.

The different charging speeds of an electric vehicle

Semi-Fast Charging

This charging uses from 7.4 kW to 22kW. This type would be useful in places where we want a relatively quick charging time. It is very common in company parking lots, and even in our own home.

Fast Charging

Fast charging requires an adaptation of the electrical network. Therefore, our brand does not provide chargers that offer these charging time speeds due to the difficulties involved.

As you can see, all the needs for charging our electric vehicle can be covered. We just need to ask the installers where and how we want it, and they will provide us with the solution we need in all cases. It is important to keep in mind that, in case of any doubts, you can always ask our customer service.
