Latest U.S. Electric Vehicle charge speed times and costs of charging

One of the most popular EV charger-related questions we receive is which is the right EV charger and how much will an EV charge cost if I use that EV charger.  With the introduction in 2021, 2022, and 2023 of a large number of all-electric EVs such as the Kia EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mach-E, the Nissan Ariya, and the Volkswagen ID.4, this has become a hot topic.

When choosing a new EV charger for a new EV or replacement chargers for a broken EV, there are some key considerations.  This is especially true for pure electric vehicles such as more recent full electric models that have hit the market such as the Kia Niro EV, Kia EV 6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Kona, Toyota bZ4x,  Volvo XC40, and Nissan Ariya, Ford Mach-e and Cadillac Lyriq EV chargers

Charge times and charge costs can vary greatly depending on three main factors: –

  1. Power acceptance of the car’s battery.  How fast the car can “accept” the charge from the EV charger
  2. EV charger speed
  3. Time of day (or night) for charging

Based on the car type, we identify below the optimum portable EV charger for your Kia Niro, Kia EV 6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Kona, Toyota bZ4x, Nissan Ariya, Ford Mach-e, and Cadillac Lyriq and Volvo XC 40 EV Chargers, as well as the charge costs for different times of the day.  

We recommend the fastest chargers such as the NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 Level 2 40 am, 9.6 kWh EV chargers since they are the most powerful chargers, will reduce range anxiety and allow EV owners to charge exclusively during super off-peak and off-peak hours when power is cheapest.   EV charging during these times can reduce your electricity bill by hundreds of dollars per month

Recommended EV Charger Level 2 Power Settings Charge Times
EV Type 40 amp, 9.6 kwh charge time 32 amp, 7.7 kwh charge time 24 amp, 5.8 kwh charge time
