How long does it take to charge an EV at home?

Energy drawn divided by charger power. A 75 kWh pack draws about 84 kWh from the wall, so on a 7.68 kW unit that is about 10.9 hours from empty to full. Add roughly 10 percent for the taper near the top of the pack, which no charger can shorten.

Does a higher powered unit always charge faster?

Only up to whatever the car itself accepts. The car and the wall unit negotiate the lower of the two rates, so on a Rivian R1S, whose onboard AC limit is a verified 11.5 kW, a 14.4 kW unit still delivers 11.5 kW and the extra capacity is spent. Pick your vehicle above and this calculator applies that ceiling for you.

Why does a full charge use more energy than the pack holds?

Because some of it becomes heat in the cable, the onboard converter and the pack itself. This calculator applies a factor of 1.12, about 12 percent, which is what the EPA's own per vehicle wall energy figures show. Pick a vehicle instead of typing a capacity and the EPA wall figure is used directly, losses already inside it.

Which power levels does this cover?

The distinct ratings across the 250 models in the database rather than one entry per model, which for 240 volt units runs from 3.84 kW to 23.04 kW. Every rating in the list is one a model here is actually sold at.

EV charge time calculator

An electric car with a 40 to 100 kWh battery takes about 3.5 to 13.0 hours to charge from empty to full on a 32 to 48 amp Level 2 home charger (7.68 to 11.52 kW), and about 28 to 69 hours on a standard 120 volt outlet.

Charge time by battery size and charger

Charge time is battery capacity divided by charger output power. This grid covers the common home charger power levels across typical battery sizes; the calculator above covers any battery and the charge rates the catalog clusters at, which are the distinct ratings across the database, not one entry per model. Real sessions run slightly longer because charging tapers near full; a 10 percent margin is a reasonable planning buffer.

Hours to charge from empty to full (battery capacity divided by charger output)
Battery size	1.44 kW (120 V outlet, 12 A)	7.68 kW charger	9.6 kW charger	11.52 kW charger	19.2 kW charger
40 kWh	27.8 h	5.2 h	4.2 h	3.5 h	2.1 h
60 kWh	41.7 h	7.8 h	6.3 h	5.2 h	3.1 h
75 kWh	52.1 h	9.8 h	7.8 h	6.5 h	3.9 h
100 kWh	69.4 h	13.0 h	10.4 h	8.7 h	5.2 h

The grid assumes the car accepts the charger's full output. Many EVs cap AC charging at 11.5 kW or less, so a higher-output charger does not shorten the time; picking your car in the calculator applies its real limit. The 12 A column is the most a 15 amp household circuit carries continuously.

Charge time by vehicle

Empty to full on a 11.52 kW (48 A) home charger for each of the 38 EVs whose maker publishes its onboard charging limit, from EPA's measured energy per full charge. The range runs from the smallest pack at the fastest limit to the largest pack at the slowest.
