How do you calculate the charging time?
This article explains how the charging time can be calculated
To calculate the time it takes to charge an electric vehicle you’ll need to know the size of the battery in the car (kWh) and the power output of the charging station or charger (kW). You can use these values to calculate how long it will take to charge your electric vehicle.
Battery size (kWh) / Charger power output (kW) = Charging time (hours)
Let's look at some examples below
Please note that the actual charging times can differ.
These charging times are indicative.
Multiple parameters can influence the charging time (for example: Load-balancing, number of phases connected, charge-cable, temperature, battery, etc.)
