Estimated Charge Rates & Times
By Model and EVSE (Charger)
Every EV has it's own optimal EVSE, so we've put together a table to give you a clearly understanding for you of how long to charge your EV.
How long to charge my EV ?
So you were wondering...​
​
-
How long will it take my BMW i3 to Charge with a Cylon32?

​
​
Are all very common questions asked on a seemingly daily basis by our customers.​ So we've pulled together a table listing the estimated charge times by model and charge rate.​ It's important to note that your vehicle may have an internal limitation on the charge rate. Therefore, it's not as simple as buying the fastest charger available.
​
For example, the Outlander PHEV has an onboard charger limitation of 3.3kw or 15km per hour of charge. You can connect a faster EVSE (charger) but the charge rate won't be any quicker. So in the example of the Outlander the optimal EVSE/charger is the 6/10/15 EVSE.
​
That said it still makes sense to buy the fastest charger you can afford because your next EV will almost certainly be capable of a faster charge rate than your current model.
​
We've outlined all the information in the table below. Note, the cells highlighted in purple indicate the optimal EVSE per model.
