How long will it take to charge my car?

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over 12 hours to charge an EV. That’s because charging times for EVs vary depending on a number of factors, such as:

  • How much charge does it currently have?
  • How much are you looking to charge it?
  • What speed charger are you using?
  • What’s the car’s maximum charging rate?
  • How big is the car’s battery?


To give you some idea, most home and public chargers are 7kW, which will fully charge an electric car with a 60kWh battery from 0% to 100% in just under 8 hours.

For 50kW rapid chargers, the general rule of thumb is you can add ~100 miles on a ~35 minute charge.

Also, most EV drivers rarely charge their car from low to full, but instead keep their battery topped up throughout the day with frequent, short charges.

How much does it cost to charge my car?

This depends primarily on your energy tariff and the car’s battery size, but as an example it costs roughly £12.60 to fully charge a car with a 50kWh battery (like the Vauxhall Corsa-E) versus ~£26.60 for an EV with a 100kWh battery (like the Tesla Model X) on a 28p/kWh tariff.
