EV Charging Time Calculator
Calculate how long charging an electric car takes from battery size, charging power and target level.
4.4 h
Charging time
| Energy to charge | 48.0 kWh |
| Charging time | 4.4 h |
| Charging time in minutes | 262 min |
The EV charging time calculator estimates how long a charge takes from battery size, charging power and the share you charge. It gives the result in both hours and minutes, which helps you plan a stop or an overnight charge.
How the calculator works and what it’s for▾
How charging time is calculated
Charging time is the energy to charge divided by the charging power. The energy to charge is the battery size times the percentage you top up.
For example, charging a 60 kWh battery by 50% at 11 kW means 30 kWh of energy and a time of roughly 30 / 11 ≈ 2.7 hours.
What you enter and what you get
Enter the battery size in kilowatt-hours, the charging power in kilowatts and the amount to charge as a percentage.
You receive the energy to charge and the charging time shown in both hours and minutes, so fitting it into your schedule is effortless.
Who finds it useful
The calculator helps EV owners plan long trips, charging stops and the timing of home charging.
It is also handy for comparing chargers when you want to see how much faster a higher charging power really is.
Good to know
Real charging time is often a little longer than calculated because charging typically slows above an 80% state of charge.
Home charging is usually around 11 kW, while fast charging can be 50–350 kW, which shortens the time considerably.
