THE EV TOOLKIT   /   CHARGING TIME

Less guessing. More going.

Estimate how long your next charge could take, whether you're plugging in at home or stopping on the road.

01 / YOUR INPUTS

Make it yours.

Example values are illustrative. Replace them with your own numbers.

This is an estimate. DC rapid charging usually slows above 80%; real charging power varies throughout the session.

THE MATH, MADE SIMPLE

Good decisions
start here.

The charger and your vehicle each have a power limit. We use the lower of the two, assuming it stays constant. Real charging curves, temperature and battery conditions can make charging take longer.

THE FORMULABattery energy added ÷ lower of charger power and vehicle limit

Frequently asked questions

Why can real charging take longer?

This calculator assumes constant power. Battery temperature and charging curves affect actual power, particularly during rapid charging above 80%.
