How long charging takes at SWTCH Energy
Time to take a battery from 10 to 80 per cent at the 3.7 kW recorded here. Formula: minutes = battery kWh × 0.7 ÷ 3.7 × 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.
| Battery size | Energy added | Minimum time |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kWh | 42 kWh | 11 hr 20 min |
| 80 kWh | 56 kWh | 15 hr 10 min |
| 100 kWh | 70 kWh | 18 hr 55 min |
