How Long Does It Take to Fast Charge a New Energy Vehicle?
1 Answers
How long does it take to fast charge a new energy vehicle? The details are as follows: 1. The charging process for a new energy vehicle typically takes 6 to 8 hours. The speed of charging an electric vehicle is closely related to the power of the charger, the battery's charging characteristics, and temperature. 2. With current battery technology, even fast charging requires about 30 minutes to charge the battery to 80% of its capacity. Beyond 80%, to protect battery safety, the charging current must be reduced, making the time to reach 100% longer. Additional Information: 1. Charging Port Introduction: Generally, two different charging ports can be found on electric vehicles. The reason for having two ports is that there are two charging modes: DC (Direct Current) charging mode and AC (Alternating Current) charging mode. Due to the difference in charging time, these two modes are also referred to as fast charging and slow charging. Of course, some electric vehicles may only have one charging port due to considerations such as cost and battery capacity. 2. Principle of Fast and Slow Charging: Fast charging is quicker because it uses DC power stored directly in the power battery, whereas slow charging requires the onboard charger to convert AC power to DC power. This is similar to making a phone call—one is a direct dial, while the other requires an extension transfer. The existence of both fast and slow charging is because each has its own advantages and disadvantages. With current technological advancements, neither can be neglected. Fast charging saves time, but the high current direct charging places higher demands on the battery.
