In recent years, the presence of electric cars has been growing spectacularly, with car manufacturers constantly adding models that cover all categories.

In our previous article, we talked about the real economy of electric cars. But what actually happens to their autonomy? How long does an electric car need to recharge its battery?

In a pure electric car, the fuel has been replaced by batteries, which leads to the conclusion that the batteries charge them through chargers and through the movement of the vehicle.

Not a few companies have developed sophisticated technologies so that electric cars can recharge a part of their battery during the journey or during braking, thus aiming to enhance their autonomy.

However, this energy is not enough to fill the vehicle's battery.

How long it takes to fully charge an electric car depends on three factors:

• The model.

• Battery status.

• The unit to be used for charging.

For example, a 5-year-old electric car from the moment it is connected to a simple outlet, needs an average of 10 hours to achieve a full charge.

In addition, there are chargers, which are special devices and provide enhanced charging with a different type of current. Therefore, when an electric car is connected to a charger with a control system, it will take from 3.5 to 7 hours.

However, charging done at AC and DC stations is much faster. We are talking about special units whose development was designed in such a way as to reduce the charging time from 20 to 45 minutes (always depending on the model, its age and the state of its battery).
