Charging time depends on your vehicle type, state of charge, battery temperature and charger speed. Charging also slows down as the battery becomes more full.
But, as a rough guide:
- Fast chargers take several hours to reach 100%
- Rapid chargers take around an hour to reach 80%
- Ultra-rapid chargers take around 20-30 minutes to reach 80%
(These estimates all assume a low state of charge on arrival and optimal battery temperature for a modern EV.)

Charging Tip
If you know that, for example, your car's maximum charge rate is 45kW, you'll get the same maximum speed from either a 50kW or a 150kW charger. So, you should head to the lower-power charger first so that the higher-power charger is available to cars which can take advantage of those higher speeds.
