How the estimate works
The calculator works out how much energy you need to reach your chosen battery percentage, then divides it by the lower of your charger's power and your car's AC charging limit. Battery size is measured in kWh; charging power is measured in kW.
The estimate uses a steady charging rate. Charging can slow as the battery gets close to full, and temperature and charging losses can affect the time. These effects are not included in the estimate.
7.4 kW charger · Same car: 11 kW AC limit
At most 7.4 kW to the car
22 kW charger · Same car: 11 kW AC limit
At most 11 kW to the car
A 22 kW charger will not make a car charge at 22 kW if the car accepts only 7.4 or 11 kW AC. Your home's supply or a charger power setting may lower the rate further. Read 7 kW vs 22 kW or check car and home compatibility before comparing models.
