The concepts of charging power and charging speed are intrinsically linked, but they aren’t interchangeable and can be confused if not explained correctly.
When talking about how quickly an electric vehicle replenishes its battery, two different concepts need to be examined. The first is the maximum charging power, measured in kilowatts , and the second is the charging speed, which measures how many miles of range are added in an hour. Put simply, you can liken charging power to the rate at which water flows through a hose while charging speed is the rate at which it can fill a barrel.
You can install a Level 2 AC charger, though, whose power rating ranges from about 3 kW to 19.2 kW . For anything over 11 kW, you will need a special three-phase electrical connection, which isn’t cheap to install, and your local electricity grid may not even be able to support it. But even a 7 kW charger is enough for an overnight top-up. Charging speed is not as simple to calculate as power because it depends on several factors.
