Common Home EV Charging Questions
How long does a home charger take to fully charge a car?
The time it takes for a home charger to fully charge your car varies depending on the model of the car and which charger you have. Using a 7.2Kwh speed charger for example, will take 6 hours to fully charge a Nissan LEAF with a 40kWh battery.
Home charging is a fast and easy way to fully charge your car, considering you can charge it overnight or while you’re not using it. An extra benefit to charging your car at home while you’re not using it, is that, it is safer from vandalism or theft as opposed to charging at a public point: which may leave it more open to damages.
