How long does it generally take to charge an electric vehicle?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles generally require 5 to 10 hours for charging. When the indicator light changes from red to green, it indicates that the battery is fully charged. It is advisable to continue charging for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours to allow the battery to absorb more energy. However, the charger should not be left connected to the AC power source for extended periods when not in use, and the charging time should not exceed 12 hours, as this may cause battery deformation and damage. Electric vehicles, also known as electric-driven vehicles, are powered by batteries and convert electrical energy into mechanical motion through components such as controllers and motors. The speed of these vehicles is adjusted by controlling the current flow. They are categorized into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles.
