Factors that influence charge time

Charging time will depend on your battery’s state of charge (how full it is), your battery size and environmental factors such as outside air temperature. Every make and model is different, and you’ll get to know your car after you’ve used a fast charging station a few times.

Charging over 80%

Even at a fast charger, most vehicles will charge slower over 80%. This “trickle charge” is related to the vehicle, not the charger. To continue charging over 80%, we recommend moving to a Level 2 charger which provides a lower per-minute charging cost, and will free up the fast charger for others.
