Electric vehicle FAQs

How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?

A vehicle’s charging time depends on:

  • The vehicle itself, its battery capacity and the power of the built-in charger.
  • External factors, such as charging point or socket power and the intensity accepted by the power supply cable. 

Good to know : Charging time is not linear; it varies depending on the battery's charge level and temperature. For example, the final 20% will take longer to charge. That is why it is recommended to charge before the battery level drops below 15% and to avoid charging to more than 80% on a daily basis or at a fast-charging station.
