How to calculate charging time
This calculator finds EV charging time by dividing battery energy needed by charger power.
How the calculation works
Charging time = Battery energy needed ÷ Charger power.
Example
40 kWh needed at 7.2 kW charging power: 40÷7.2 ≈ 5.6 hours.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Charging Time
- Real charging often slows as the battery approaches full, especially on DC fast chargers — this gives an average estimate, not an exact curve.
- Charger power, not just battery capacity, is often the limiting factor — a higher-power charger reduces charging time proportionally.
Common Charging Time Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the charging curve and assuming a constant charge rate throughout, when many EVs actually charge slower near full.
