What is the optimal charging duration for electric vehicles?
1 Answers
For electric vehicles, it is optimal to charge for 6 to 8 hours using an AC charging station, while a DC charging station can charge up to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. Due to variations in battery capacity and performance among different vehicles, charging times may differ. Additionally, ambient temperature can also affect the charging duration of electric vehicles. During the charging process, owners should reasonably control the charging time to avoid overcharging. Range is a core metric for electric vehicles. To enhance range, engineers have devised various methods such as weight reduction and aerodynamic optimization. However, the fundamental way to increase the distance an electric vehicle can travel is still by expanding battery capacity.
