The charging time for an electric car depends on several factors, including the type of charging station, the available power,
the vehicle's onboard charger, and the battery's charge level.
A practical example
If you connect a car with an 11-kW onboard charger to a AC charging station, in most cases you’ll charge at up to 11 kW, not 22 kW: the limit is set by the car, not the charging station.
The same applies to DC HPC: the theoretical maximum power is achieved only under favorable conditions, typically when the battery is nearly depleted and the temperature is normal.
A 22-kW charging station does not mean charging at 22 kW.
The actual power depends mainly on the car.
Estimated charging times
*Estimated charging times are based on charging from 10% to 80% for direct current (DC) charging stations and from 0% to 100% for alternating current (AC) charging stations. Values may vary depending on the vehicle, the battery, the available power, and charging conditions.
