How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car?

An electric car battery is a series of smaller batteries.

There are several options for charging your new Ford EV around Dundalk, each with different plugs and ports. But with a variety of available charging adapters, you won’t be tied to one charging method. That said, the answer to the question, “How long does it take to charge an electric car,” varies depending on which options you choose. Of course, your electric car charging time also depends on what type, make, and model of EV you drive.

Different EVs have different battery packs with varying charging times. In short, there’s too much variability to answer this question definitively with a one-size-fits-all answer. Still, we can help you learn more about the three main types of EV charging — domestic charging, rapid domestic charging, and public charging — and how your choice of each will ultimately determine your electric car charging time.

How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car Per Level?

  • Level 1 Charging: Domestic 110V/120V Outlet

Your new EV will come with a Level 1 charger. Most Middle River drivers keep this in the vehicle as a backup, rather than using it as a sole charging method. Level 1 chargers provide an estimated four miles of range per charging hour.

  • Installed Brand-Approved Level 2 Domestic Charging

Level 2 (240V+) chargers must be professionally installed and can charge your EV much faster than level 1 chargers. Level 2 chargers provide an estimated 24 miles of range per charging hour.

  • Level 2 Public Charging

Level 2 public charging stations are more and more common around Parkville and Bel Air, and they provide similar charging speeds to level 2 home chargers. You can often find them at major retailers like Walgreens, Kohl’s, and Whole Foods, as well as at universities, hotels, and parking garages.

  • Level 3 Rapid Charging

Some public chargers offer 150 kW rapid charging, and these can power up your EV faster than any other charging method. However, they’re usually only available along major highways and freeways and cannot be installed at home. Level 3 chargers provide up to 60 to 100 miles of range per twenty minutes of charging.
