Charge times for popular EVs in Australia
20→80% is how most people think about a 'full' charge. 10→100% is the worst case: arriving home nearly empty and filling to the top.

What changes the numbers
Why your charge time may differ
- Cold weather. Batteries charge more slowly when cold, and the car may spend some power warming the pack.
- The last 10–20%. Charging tapers near full, so the final stretch takes longer per kWh.
- Your supply voltage. Australian homes vary around 230 V. Lower voltage means slightly less power.
- The outlet. A shared circuit or older wiring can mean you should use a lower current setting, which is slower but safer.

Frequently asked
How long does it take to charge an electric car from a normal power point?
A standard 10 A power point adds about 13 km of range per hour. Taking a 60 kWh battery from 20% to 80% takes about 17.4 hours, and a 10-hour night adds roughly 129 km.
How much faster is a 15A outlet?
About 50% faster: roughly 19 km per hour instead of 13 km. A 60 kWh battery goes from 20% to 80% in about 11.6 hours.
Is a power point fast enough for daily driving?
For most people, yes. The average Australian drives around 30–40 km a day, which takes about 3.1 hours to put back on 10 A.
Why does charging slow down near 100%?
The car tapers the charging current as the battery fills to protect it, so the last 10–20% takes longer than the rest.
Can I use an extension lead with a portable EV charger?
No. Powerboards and extension leads aren't built for hours of continuous load. Plug the charger straight into the wall, and stop if the plug or outlet feels hot.
