How long charging takes at BC Hydro Charging Station
Time to take a battery from 10 to 80 per cent at the 400 kW recorded here. Formula: minutes = battery kWh × 0.7 ÷ 400 × 60. This is the floor, not the typical: DC charging slows as the battery fills, and a car never draws more than its own limit, so real sessions run longer. Battery sizes are examples; check your own car's usable capacity.
| Battery size | Energy added | Minimum time |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kWh | 42 kWh | 6 min |
| 80 kWh | 56 kWh | 8 min |
| 100 kWh | 70 kWh | 11 min |
