EV charge time calculator
Charge time is battery capacity divided by charger output power. The grid below covers the common home charger power levels across typical battery sizes; the calculator underneath covers any battery and the charge rates the catalog clusters at. The list is 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.

Every charger power at a glance
| Battery size | 7.68 kW charger | 9.6 kW charger | 11.52 kW charger | 19.2 kW charger |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 kWh | 5.2 h | 4.2 h | 3.5 h | 2.1 h |
| 60 kWh | 7.8 h | 6.3 h | 5.2 h | 3.1 h |
| 75 kWh | 9.8 h | 7.8 h | 6.5 h | 3.9 h |
| 100 kWh | 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.
