Charging time electric vehicle

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

When switching to an EV, one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that it takes too long to charge. This is actually not true!

Fast charging

Fast chargers like those offered by Gridserve, Ionity and Instavolt are able to charge an average EV battery to 80% within around 30-45 minutes. You mostly find these fast chargers around highways.

Charging at home

How long does it take to fully charge an EV at home? This depends on the type of charging point and the size of the battery, but when we are talking about a ‘normal’ EV and a standard charging point (AC charge point) it will take around 7 hours to charge it from empty to full. This is why EV drivers tend to charge overnight while at home.

How much does it cost to charge an electric car?

The costs for charging an EV depend on the size of its battery. In this example we use an Opel Corsa-e, a midrange EV with a battery capacity of 45kWh and an average use of 170Wh per kilometer. Below we display three scenarios:

Charging at home

An average charging session using a 7kW home charger takes around 7 hours. After this time a 7kW charge point will have delivered around 50 kWh of electricity to the vehicle. In the UK, 1 kWh costs approx. £0.28 incl. VAT.

Public charging

Public charge points are more expensive per kWh than private charge points. The rate of a public charge point is on average £0.55 p/kWh for AC charging and £ 0.81 per kWh for DC charging (as of January 2024). This differs per charge point operator. E-Flux does not add any additional costs to the price p/kWh or any transaction fees.

Fast charging

DC charging is the fastest way to charge your car. However, this is more expensive than AC charging, which is slower. The average rate is around £0.81 per kWh. This means that your EV costs an average of £ 0.14 per km to run.

How much does the E-Flux charge card cost?

When you pick our ‘Orange‘ subscription, you pay E-Flux a monthly fee of £3,23. The other costs consist of the number of kWh’s charged that month – no surcharge added. Payments will be debited directly from your account or by invoice.

When your pick our ‘Pay as you charge‘ subscription, your first bill will contain a one time contribution of £5,-, but other than this you’ll only pay £0,32 per charging session. This means that you don’t have any fixed monthly costs, but you’ll pay E-Flux a one time £0,32 fee for each charging session on top of the regular charging rate of the operator.

How long does it take to charge my car?

The charging time of a battery depends on several factors. Among other things, it depends on the type of charging station and the car. On average, fully recharging a battery takes between 6 and 10 hours. If your battery decides to die on you while you’re on the road, we assume that you don’t want to wait 6 to 10 hours to recharge your battery. In this case you can use fast chargers. These are often located along highways; a good example of these are FastNed stations. These fast chargers can usually charge 80% of your battery within 30 minutes. To charge at these stations you need a charge card and that is where E-Flux can help you!

How do I request a new E-Flux charge card/tag?

You can always request a new or extra charge card/tag for yourself or for someone else.

  1. Log in at the E-Flux Dashboard;

  2. Go to ‘My cards’ and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Then hit the ‘+Request Card or Tag’ button;
