Electric Vehicle Charging Time Calculator

Calculate how long it will take to charge your electric vehicle using different charging methods.

Enter your EV's battery capacity (e.g., 75 for Tesla Model 3 Long Range).
Enter the current battery charge percentage.
Enter the desired battery charge percentage (typically 80% for optimal battery health).
Select the type of charger you're using or select custom to specify power.
Maximum AC charging power your vehicle can accept (typically 7.7-11 kW).
Charging efficiency (typically 85-90% for AC, 90-95% for DC).
Enter your vehicle's efficiency to calculate range added.

EV Charging Speed Tips

  • Level 1 charging (standard wall outlet) adds about 4-5 miles of range per hour.
  • Level 2 charging (240V) typically adds 25-40 miles of range per hour.
  • DC Fast Charging can add 150-1000 miles of range per hour depending on the charger and vehicle.
  • Charging speed slows down significantly above 80% state of charge, especially with DC fast charging.
  • Your vehicle's onboard charger limits the maximum AC charging speed regardless of what the EVSE can provide.
  • Cold temperatures can significantly reduce charging speeds, especially for DC fast charging.
  • Some EVs reduce charging speed after multiple rapid charging sessions to protect the battery.
