EV Recharge Times

This list for U.S. market cars assumes the battery is fully drawn down to the point that its battery management system (BMS) has stopped the car.
All these EVs can be plugged into ordinary wall current, and some drivers may be fine with that. Recharge times listed however are for the quickest level 2 recharge either estimated or as stated (often in ballpark terms) by the manufacturer.
For cars that specify a “preferred EVSE supplier” in most cases (except Tesla) it’s not required you go with only this supplier.

Honda Fit EV – under 3 hours


2013_Honda_Fit_EV1Its smaller 20-kwh battery recharges quickly with a fast 6.6-kw on-board charger at 32 amps.
House current recharge time is estimated at 15 hours. Level 3 is not now available.
Leviton is the preferred EVSE manufacturer.

60-kwh Tesla Model S – 3.35 hours

Going with Tesla’s “62 miles of range per hour” quoted recharge rate with its HPWC, the 208 miles EPA-rated range of the 60-kwh car should be replenished in 3.35 hours. This assumes the twin on-board chargers rated at 20 kw.

With only the single standard 10-kw onboard charger, or an EVSE rated at lower amps, times increase. Tesla quotes 31 miles of range per hour with level 2 and using its included Mobile Connector.
Tesla_Model_S_SunsetIf Supercharger compatible, 150 miles of charge range can take under 20 minutes.
Preferred EVSE supplier for its proprietary charge port is – you guessed it – Tesla. For more details, check out Tesla’s interactive Web page.
