HERE IS WHAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT EV CHARGING

As electric vehicles (EVS) gain popularity in the country, it is essential to address the widespread misconceptions and misunderstandings surrounding the charging process, particularly the speed at which EVs can be charged.

Many people still hold outdated beliefs about EV charging, assuming it is slow and inconvenient. The charging speed of electric vehicles is influenced by several factors, including the charger's kW rating, current rating, battery, temperature, and state of charge, among other things.

By understanding these factors and making informed choices, EV owners can optimise their charging experience.

FACTORS INFLUENCING CHARGING SPEED: 

The charger's kW rating plays a significant role in determining the charging speed. Higher kW-rated chargers deliver more power to the vehicle, resulting in faster charging times.

For example, a 50 kW charger will charge a vehicle faster than a 10 kW charger. Alternating current (AC) chargers typically range from 3 kW to 22 kW, while direct current (DC) fast chargers can go up to several hundred kW.

The different charger types, such as Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers (Level 3), offer varying charging speeds. Level 1 chargers, which typically use a standard household outlet, are the slowest, while Level 3 chargers can provide rapid charging for compatible EVs.

It is important for EV owners to understand their vehicle's maximum charging capacity to optimise charging speed.
