Just how accurate are EV charging times?
The Renault Zoe has been holding its own for some time now. Immediately after plugging in the CCS connector, the charging power jumped to 42kWh, of the claimed 50kWh. It remained at that rate for 30 minutes before another brief power increase, then it decreased continuously.
It isn’t surprising that the Zoe’s battery is capable of taking on such a charge so quickly though. It’s one of two cars on the UK market that can receive 22kW AC charge. This is important since a domestic EV charger is usually 7.4kW but households with a three-phase supply can, if they wish, opt for a 22kW charging point. However, most EVs today, including the cars on this list are limited to accept a maximum of 11kW from an AC supply .
