[question]

What charging performance can I expect?

[/question]

[answer]

  • Plug (not recommended): ~2.3 kW → 60 kWh battery ~26 hours.
  • Single phase 32 A (7.4 kW): ~8 hours.
  • Three-phase 16 A (11 kW): ~5–6 hours (many cars can only handle 11 kW on AC).
  • Three-phase 32 A (22 kW): only if the car's on-board charger is capable of it; many models "stop" at 11 kW.
  • DC 50–150–350 kW: 10–40 minutes to “50–80%”, more expensive and more stressful on the battery.
