How Long Does it Take to Charge an Electric Car?

How long it takes to charge an electric car depends on a multitude of factors. It's not quite as clear-cut as filling up a car with gasoline. Let us explain. #KBB

Why is there no video on how long does it take to fill up a gas car?

[Saratraveler]

Don't buy an electric car for at least 10 years from today. The stations are not enough for this many electric cars. I used to wait 2 hours to charge my car and 1 hour to get it fully charged with a fast charging station! Waste of Time!

[Accrd]

meanwhile it takes me less than 5 mins to fill up my gas car and I'm omw. I just made a 3 hour drive to the Miami area, I counted 5 electric vehicles stuck on the side of the road probably ran out of charge. What a joke. No thanks! Mustang Mach Es are quite literally in rows at my local Ford dealership. No one wants EVs but hipsters.

Imagine the damage EV's will do to roads just because of how heavy they are ( double or triple the weight of a regular car ). 10000 lbs Hummer 😢. Thanks GM. Hybrids are the real future for now until the government gets serious about the EV charging infrastructure, price of EV vehicles and charging times.

So, what you are saying is that a vehicle that claims a 300-mile battery range really only has 70% of that since the charging is recommended from 10 - 80%... therefore, you are losing 30% range and realistically get only 210 miles of range from a vehicle claiming 300 miles unless you want to wait for another 30 - 45 minutes of charging time... which, in turn, will deteriorate your battery life much more quickly... sounds like a carny slight-of-hand scam if I've ever heard one.

Don’t buy EV at least not in another 5 years

I purchased my now 25-year-old car used five years ago and it’s still ticking just like the day I bought it (Toyota 4Runner, for those wondering). EV’s don’t have that sort of longevity, because the gas tank (batteries) figuratively shrink due to wear. When a $50, 000 appliance is as disposable as a cell phone, we have a problem. I’d like to see this discussion in 10-15 years from now when EV’s have some real age on them and we see how things are going.

If it’s a complicated topic and you can’t get a straightforward answer on how long it takes to charge your car. Then it’s not worth buying. It’s nothing but another headache and that’s how I see it.

[paulthorsteinson]

The reason they don’t show you gassing up a car is no one would buy an electric car knowing how foolish it is.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 peak charging is 240kW, not 350kW.

[michelleborden]

That is why I don't like EV's and who has ten to twenty thousand dollars laying around to pay for battery replacement. 😒. You will never get my money 💰 fo😂that type of crap!

Now read
Theft of Service Leaders in an educated opinion.
I was a field service tech for Cummins Allison 852 Feehanville Drive Mount Prospect, IL 60056... They make money counting equipment however, this is what ya deal with, half assed refurbished parts and to top it of they told me not to do the preventative maintenance anymore at customer sites just run the vacuum a little bit and wipe down the machines (make it look good). I was like "But that is gonna make the service call numbers go up and is >theft of service< WHY ? Well they wanted to keep selling new equipment every 3 years or so as the stuff would have lots of problems see ? With At Will, I was fired...SAD HUH ? Country is in TROUBLE...INVESTIGATION is needed asap folks. I thank you. BTW

There seems to be a "game changer" almost every day...hard to keep up with. Meanwhile EVs sales are tanking. And owners of EVs are crapping in their pants because of the extreme depreciation...

[jfbaro]

If we don’t have enough and fast chargers

[justfelicia]

You didn't ANSWER THE QUESTION! WHY?!

[sentient_musiq]

I just need a simple answer these videos go into everything but whats asked!

[The_MissJarvis]

Key phrase the AC to DC current is limited residentially yes read that many times they control the power. Rest in peace Nikola Tesla.

[CMCNestT]

Tesla Cybertruck is on 800v architecture. EV batteries are not like smart phone batteries in one very important way; EV batteries are not basically done after 3 years.

[Photoshopuzr]

I like the idea of the electric car's but imo mankind has just shot themselves in the foot and wants everyone to follow. Good luck keeping up spending and spending on new batteries that toxic to the planet. im good ill Keep using gasoline cars, for the rest of you good luck if the energy grid goes down or the cold gets very brutal, seems to me this is more for show than practicality, I see more harm than good in the process moving forward. Edit: To much wasting time of these cars and trucks, life is already short not going to add to lost time over any vehicle with a battery so waste more of my time. You can always get money back but you will never get time back.

You always have a way out. You just chose the easy money.
