You are probably wondering how long it takes to charge an electric vehicle (EV) and Cornerstone Auto is here to tell you the full answer!

Let’s get into the meat of this question and our team at Cornerstone Auto will be able to give you more exact answers!
Electric Car Charging Options
Level 1 Charging
Level 1 charging or domestic outlet home charging will usually take between 24 hours and a few days for a full charge. Charging with a normal grounded (three-prong) 110V/120V charging outlet will be slow, but it’s perfect for topping off the charge you used that day.
Level 2 Charging
If you want faster charging, then you should look into Level 2 or install brand-approved charging at your Anoka, MN home. This method uses rapid (usually 240V+) chargers most often made specifically for your brand of car. You will probably use DC fast chargers instead of AC ones. Your EV can charge up to 80% in half an hour or forty minutes, but the remaining 20% will take longer due to the decreasing rate of charging speed.
Public Charging
Out and about and won’t be home anytime soon? You can use a public charging station since there are many available at parking garages, malls, hotels, stores like Walgreens and Kohl’s, and even apartment buildings. Public charging stations vary in type and speed, but they are usually Level 2 for a quick charge on the go. So how long is the electric car charging time in public exactly? A full charge can happen in around an hour for some EVs, but for other EVs, it could take 4 hours, 6 hours, or 11 hours.
