How It Works
This battery charging time calculation tool uses a straightforward formula to provide a charging time estimate. It considers the total energy your car needs, and divides that by your charger's power output and an optional efficiency factor.
Formula:
Energy Needed = (Target% - Current%) * Battery Capacity / 100
Charging Time (hours) = Energy Needed / Charger kW / (Efficiency / 100)
FAQs
A: Yes. A larger battery requires more energy, so it will take longer to charge to the same percentage unless a more powerful charger is used.
A: The impact is minimal for occasional use. However, frequent, high-power DC fast charging can contribute to a slightly faster rate of battery degradation over the long term.
A: Yes, as long as you know your vehicle's battery capacity and the power output of the charger you plan to use. It works for all major EV brands like Tesla, Nissan, Chevy, Ford, etc.
