When hooking up your car to an EV charging station, you might be wondering how long it will take to fully charge your vehicle. This is especially true if you’re away from the home at work or on the road. Often it will take at least two hours, if not more, to fully charge your electric vehicle. Of course, this depends upon how far you’ve driven it, as well as the type of battery your car has. When traveling or on a longer trip, it’s important to plan out your route to ensure that there are ample EV charging stations along the way. Often, charging for approximately 30 minutes every few hours will help you get it up to around 80%.
