How fast is it to charge at public EV stations?

Our fast chargers, either 7kW or 22kW, will take around 3-4 hours to fully charge, these can usually be found in car parks, supermarkets, leisure centres. 

Rapid chargers (50kW) will charge most vehicles from 20% to 80% within 60 minutes in ideal conditions*.

Our ultra rapid (150kW+) chargers can typically charge from 20-80% in approximately 30 minutes in ideal conditions**.

Cars that are able to take advantage of the full speed offered by the 150kW+ charger generally have larger batteries and so require a faster charge to fill the battery in similar amounts of time.

The charging bay should have a sign displaying the maximum power the chargers can deliver, often 180kW, sometimes lower for fast or rapid chargers. The actual charging speeds are influenced by several factors, including of your EV, state of charge, the ambient temperature and temperature of the battery. 

In addition to the above, the time taken depends on how full you choose to charge your battery. To avoid any damage to the battery, when it reaches 80% charge, the charger goes slower towards the end of the charge session.

*50kW+ chargers will charge most vehicles from 20% to 80% within 60 minutes in ideal conditions. Charging speeds may vary depending on: battery state, ambient temperature, other load use (e.g. AC) & energy losses. Not all vehicles are capable of reaching 150kW.
