How Long Does It Take to Charge These Popular Electric Cars?

Electric vehicles take longer to “fill up” than gas-powered cars, but how long you have to wait depends on the car.

Some cars can add 200 miles of range in 20 minutes , while others might take more than an hour to do the same.

Even at the same charger, some cars take twice as long as others to add the same number of miles.

To calculate, we multiplied each vehicle’s EPA -estimated combined miles-per-kilowatt-hour rating by its maximum DC charging acceptance rate.

Older versions of some of these vehicles might not charge at the same speeds.

If you plug in your Chevy Bolt at a 350 kW charger, it won't charge faster than if you plugged it in at a 100 kW or 50 kW.
