How Long Should the First Charge for an Electric Car Take?
1 Answers
For a new electric car, the first charge typically takes only 5-6 hours. Here are detailed explanations about charging a new car: 1. Duration of the First Charge: Regarding the charging time for the first charge, since the electric vehicle's battery hasn't been used when it leaves the factory, it hasn't undergone charging and discharging. To ensure the battery's normal operation, the charging time should generally be around 5-6 hours, just enough to fully charge the battery. Subsequent charges can be slightly longer. 2. No Need to Discharge Before the First Charge: Unlike other secondary batteries, electric car batteries are lead-acid batteries and have no memory effect. Therefore, regardless of the battery's state of charge, it can be charged directly without the need for discharging.
