Myth: They take too long to charge
Fact: There are a few variables involved with this one: 1) the size of the EV’s battery, 2) what charging speeds it can handle, 3) where you’re charging it (at home, or on a public charger) and 4) how powerful the charger is (AC, or DC, which is capable of delivering truly rapid fast-charging).

- All that aside, you’ll easily be able to fully charge the average EV overnight on a domestic wall box charger, where typically you’ll get a battery from empty to full in approximately six to eight hours.
- If you have access to a DC fast-charger and your EV is compatible with high-voltage DC charging, you can add 300km of range to your battery in as little as 10 minutes.
