How Many Hours Does It Take to Charge a Small Electric Car?

[DeJonathan]

Generally, the charging time takes 8-12 hours, but to avoid affecting the battery lifespan, it is not recommended to fully deplete the battery each time it is used. The charging methods for new energy electric vehicles are as follows: Rated Current: Use a standard plug socket with a rated current not exceeding 16A to charge directly at home, which takes about 8-10 hours to fully charge. Household three-pin sockets come in two specifications: 10A and 16A, with the 16A plug and socket being larger in size. Using an AC Charging Pile: Charge the electric vehicle directly on an AC power grid with higher current using a charging pile, which takes about 4 hours to charge. The power of slow charging piles is usually 3.5kW and 7kW, and this value depends on the rated input power of the vehicle's onboard charger.
