The highest output recorded for this location is 13 kW. Zevvy stores a power rating only where the source published one, so this figure is read from the record rather than estimated.

How long charging takes at Blink

Time to take a battery from 10 to 80 per cent at the 13 kW recorded here. Formula: minutes = battery kWh × 0.7 ÷ 13 × 60. This is the floor, not the typical: on AC the car's own onboard charger sets the ceiling, and many cars accept less than a post can supply. Battery sizes are examples; check your own car's usable capacity.
