Factors influencing the recharging time of an electric car
Many factors will have an impact on recharging speed of your electric vehicle.
Indeed, the electric carthe power of its battery as well as the power of the charging station are all factors that strongly influence the recharging time required for your vehicle.
In most cases, for example, electric vehicles with a large-capacity large-capacity battery will recharge faster.
It should also be noted that the majority of 100% electric models on the market are limited to a charging capacity of 100 kWcharging power, mainly due to insufficient battery capacity.
This limitation makes it impossible to recharge these electric cars on the ultra-fast charging stations available to the public, with power ratings of up to 350 kW.
This helps to explain why the recharging time of some vehicles can hardly be further optimized, given this limitation.
When it comes to the fastest-charging electric cars, we're going to take a closer look at the fast-charging powerwhich corresponds to the recharge time required to reach 80% charge.
