EV charge time calculator
An electric car with a 40 to 100 kWh battery takes about 3.5 to 13.0 hours to charge from empty to full on a 32 to 48 amp Level 2 home charger (7.68 to 11.52 kW), and about 28 to 69 hours on a standard 120 volt outlet.

Selection rule, in full
with no car picked, chargers rated at the output selected above; with a car picked, the rows the car's own buying guide prints: chargers that fit its charge port, the lowest verified price that reaches its onboard limit plugged in, hardwired and portable, and a cheaper, slower one where it exists. Rows are the lowest verified prices among the chargers that match, ties by name; nothing is ranked on quality. With no car picked, where none of the first 5 has a seller we link to, the lowest-priced matching charger that has one is added as a last, labeled row.
No charger with a verified price is sold at this output.

Charge time by battery size and charger
Charge time is battery capacity divided by charger output power. This grid covers the common home charger power levels across typical battery sizes; the calculator above covers any battery and the charge rates the catalog clusters at, which are the distinct ratings across the database, not one entry per model. Real sessions run slightly longer because charging tapers near full; a 10 percent margin is a reasonable planning buffer.
| Battery size | 1.44 kW (120 V outlet, 12 A) | 7.68 kW charger | 9.6 kW charger | 11.52 kW charger | 19.2 kW charger |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 kWh | 27.8 h | 5.2 h | 4.2 h | 3.5 h | 2.1 h |
| 60 kWh | 41.7 h | 7.8 h | 6.3 h | 5.2 h | 3.1 h |
| 75 kWh | 52.1 h | 9.8 h | 7.8 h | 6.5 h | 3.9 h |
| 100 kWh | 69.4 h | 13.0 h | 10.4 h | 8.7 h | 5.2 h |
The grid assumes the car accepts the charger's full output. Many EVs cap AC charging at 11.5 kW or less, so a higher-output charger does not shorten the time; picking your car in the calculator applies its real limit. The 12 A column is the most a 15 amp household circuit carries continuously.
Charge time by vehicle
Empty to full on a 11.52 kW (48 A) home charger for each of the 48 EVs whose maker publishes its onboard charging limit, from EPA's measured energy per full charge. The range runs from the smallest pack at the fastest limit to the largest pack at the slowest.

Charge time questions
- How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
- Energy drawn divided by charger power. A 75 kWh pack draws about 84 kWh from the wall, so on a 7.68 kW unit that is about 10.9 hours from empty to full. Add roughly 10 percent for the taper near the top of the pack, which no charger can shorten.
- Does a higher powered unit always charge faster?
- Only up to whatever the car itself accepts. The car and the wall unit negotiate the lower of the two rates, so on a Rivian R1S, whose onboard AC limit is a verified 11.5 kW, a 14.4 kW unit still delivers 11.5 kW and the extra capacity is spent. Pick your vehicle above and this calculator applies that ceiling for you.
- Why does a full charge use more energy than the pack holds?
- Because some of it becomes heat in the cable, the onboard converter and the pack itself. This calculator applies a factor of 1.12, about 12 percent, which is what the EPA's own per vehicle wall energy figures show. Pick a vehicle instead of typing a capacity and the EPA wall figure is used directly, losses already inside it.
- Which power levels does this cover?
- The distinct ratings across the 248 models in the database rather than one entry per model, which for 240 volt units runs from 3.84 kW to 23.04 kW. Every rating in the list is one a model here is actually sold at.
