Charging 20% to 80%, roughly how long?

[circatee]

Curious, if you’re at around 20% and using an L2 charger, roughly how long would it take to get to 80%?

Additionally, using those ‘fast’ chargers around the country, for 30 minutes or so charge, how many miles roughly would one get?

Thanks and sorry for what is probably a repeated question…

Could be as fast as 6 hours with the Ford mobile charger in a standard range (70 kwh battery).

Extended range battery will charge about 10% per hour on a 40A charger setting.

Miles is a bad metric for DC charging. Assuming ideal temperature conditions on a 150+ kW charger putting out full power….30 minutes is enough to get an extended range battery from 20 to 80 percent.

How many miles you can get from 80% charge depends on too many variables (speed, elevation gain/loss, temperature, wind, rain etc.) to give a specific answer.

Google Play Store has an app called EV Charging Time Calculator where you can punch in the particulars of the car, charger and charge rate . It might be what you're looking for

Full by morning. All is good.

About 6 hours on a 40A Level 2 charger.

It would depend on the range of the car. I have a gt that has a range of 270 at 100%. When I charge from 20% to 80% it takes just under 8 hours.

On public chargers, 30 minutes depends on the level of the charger. On a level 3, it will add like 30+ miles in 30 minutes but a level 6 would add 150+ in 30 minutes.

Hope that helps.

Charge rate depends on battery capacity and amperage. I have Extended Range, and charge at 32 amps at home. I add right around 8% an hour.

On our FME Select, it took about 45 minutes to go from about 25% to 80% on a DC fast charger.

What is a level 6 charger? Isn't Level 3 DCFC? If you're only getting 30+ miles on a Level 3 DCFC in 30 minutes then something doesn't sound right.

I use an app called "chargeway"

It describes all the chargers as "levels" based on kwh. in the area and the speed of charge. A level 2 gives me around 20 miles per hour. The level 3 gives me about 60 an hour.

I just charged GT from 14-54% in 19m on 150kW charger which would extrapolate to 30m for 20-80 assuming rate doesn’t slow as it approaches 80.

I agree with “full by morning”. I verified that my L2 EVSE would hit about 9.4kw and then turned it down to 4kw to reduce the load on the GFCI. My normal use-case is to charge one night per week. As long as it is ready to go by morning, I’m good. In retrospect, I probably would have been fine with a 110V EVSE, and supplement with occasional DCFC.

On your second DCFC question, I charged from 17-80% in 36min in 100 degree temps. On a recent road trip, I was surprised how rarely I feel like I am waiting on it. Only when a bank of 4 DCFC’s were maxed out did I note an annoying delay. To me, it is less about raw time and more about how I can use my time.
