How to Calculate Electric Vehicle Charging Time? [2025 Updated Guide]

One of the questions electric vehicle owners are most curious about is: "How long does it take to charge my car?"

The answer to this question actually depends on a few key parameters. But don't worry, we'll explain it simply and practically, without overwhelming you with technical details. By the end of this article, you'll even have access to an AI-powered calculation tool for your own vehicle.

🔋 What Depends on Charging Time?

There are three main factors that affect the charging time of an electric vehicle:

• Battery Capacity (kWh): The larger the battery, the longer the duration.
• Charger Power (kW): The more powerful your charger is, the faster the battery will charge.
• On-Vehicle AC Charging Limit: Even if some vehicles are connected to a 22 kW charger, the on-vehicle hardware may only allow charging at 6.6 kW, for example.

🧮 Simple Formula:

Charging Time (hours) = Battery Capacity (kWh) ÷ Charging Power (kW)

Example: A vehicle with a 60 kWh battery can be fully charged in approximately 8 hours with the 7.4 kW WiseCar WTP1 .
