Can I ask how long does it take to charge up an electric car.
Depends on the charger mine at home is a 7kWh (my car takes 64 kWh from 0 to 100%) I also top up on my solar panels so mine is efficient. Some outlets are 22kWH and 43kWH these are usually AC. 50kWH rapid charges are DC
Mine will top up to 90% on a rapid charge and 100% on AC
as an example a 50kWH DC charger will charge a Nissan leaf from 0% to 80% in 30 mins (A leaf has 40kWH battery storage.
In addition if you park at say Snow Hill, Junction 32 or Crown Point as examples you can charge for free. There are lots of other places too.
Hope this explains it clearly just for a comparison I have a Kia e-Niro 64 kWh. in the summer and on ECO it will do around 320 miles on a full charge this time of year anything from 270 to 300 depending upon which drive mode is selected and what heating etc you use.
