How Many Hours do you need to recharge the car
3 Answers
That would depend on the battery and the level of discharge and the charger amps. 2 hours should be close enough to start it
It takes about 5 hours using 110v charger in my garage at home, at work, about 2.5 hours if i get on the 240v 40(might be 50)amp charger and about 3 hours if I end up on the 240v 20amp chargers at work. But I find that the 240v chargers get it to 99% whereas the slower 110v charger gets me 100% every time. For comparison purposes, I used to spend about $200/month in gas going back and forth to work with my Ford Focus, now I buy gas every other month (work is about 24 miles away) and my electric bill went up about $15/month. Note that I charge at night only at home, work gives us free charging during the day. Driving to work daily in 2019, I went from May to September without buying any gas and got 382 mpg. Warmer weather is easier on the batteries, colder weather I'd be filling up every other month. Also, I stopped filling more than half way because it just adds weight to pull around and I don't fill up that often anyway.
