Hi
@d taylor
From what I know, the very, very fastest time that you can fully recharge, or at least 80% recharge, an all electric vehicle is now about 6-8 hours. However, what it seems that most people do in the situation is do a partial recharge that gets one an additional 100 miles or so, in 30 minutes.
A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just
under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW charging point. Most drivers top up charge rather than waiting for their battery to recharge from empty-to-full. For many electric cars, you can add up to 100 miles of range in ~35 minutes with a 50kW rapid charger. (from podpoint.com)
Note that 'quick' charge is with a 50kw rapid charger. That's not just plugging your car into some standard electrical service outlet and if you're making a trip, that means you're going to have to stop every hour and a half (about what it takes to drive 100 miles) to spend another half hour to drive the next 100 miles. And you have to map out your trip so that you know where all the rapid chargers are located on your route. I can't imagine that anyone would find that particularly convenient.
God bless,
Ted
