The time it takes to fully charge an electric vehicle (EV) using a Level 2 charger depends on several factors, including the charger’s power output and the vehicle’s battery size. Generally, Level 2 chargers can charge a battery electric vehicle (BEV) from empty to full in 4 to 10 hours. Here’s a breakdown of estimated charge times for different Level 2 charger outputs:
- 3 kW: Approximately 13.3 hours to fully charge a 40 kWh battery.
- 7 kW: About 5.7 hours for the same battery capacity.
- 11 kW: Roughly 3.6 hours.
- 19.2 kW: Approximately 2.1 hours.
These times can vary based on the specific EV model and its charging capabilities. For example, a 40 kWh battery can be fully charged in about 7.5 hours with a typical Level 2 charger.
