As an Ant owner, I've gained some insights into charging this car. Charging power varies by method: With slow charging using a home AC charging station, the power is about 7 kW. For example, with a standard home charger, a full charge from empty takes around 6 to 8 hours, making it ideal for overnight charging and daytime driving. Fast charging offers much higher power, with DC charging stations reaching up to 30 kW. At public charging stations, you can reach 80% charge in about half an hour, which is especially convenient for long trips. It's important to note that the 32 kWh battery capacity affects charging time, and charging can be slightly slower in cold weather. I usually prefer slow charging to save costs, reserving fast charging for emergencies. Choosing the right charger is crucial—using manufacturer-recommended equipment helps protect battery life. Regularly checking charging cables for any damage can also minimize issues.
