How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?

The charger you're using will have the biggest impact on charging times, followed by your vehicle. The EVgo network includes both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers; Level 2 chargers can take 5-6 hours, and Level 3 fast chargers can charge your EV in as little as 15-45 minutes*! 

*When it comes to using a Level 3 fast-charger, your vehicle will always determine how quickly it can charge. Battery level, recent usage, and even the weather can impact your charging speed. If you're looking for more detailed information on charging times, we recommend reviewing these resources from the EVgo Charging Crew:

 

The graphic below breaks down some general charging times based on the type of charger you're using.
