Fast charge kicks in when the capacity is between 0% and 79% but stops when it reaches 80%. If you don't mind forking over a few extra dollars for charging accessories, you get much faster charging than you would otherwise. Read More

Keeping the state of battery charge, from 0 percent to 100 percent , improves the performance of the battery life of your vehicle. Even though a full charge will give you the maximum operating time, it is never a good idea for the overall lifespan of your battery. Read More

This is a measure of how much power they need to be continuously supplied with in order to run. Let's say you have an electric motor rated at 100 kilowatts (kW) at peak power output. If you ran that motor for 30 minutes you would use 50 kWh of energy — 100 multiplied by 0.5 (of an hour) equals 50 k Read More

NC 360 is a new charger from NASN. This modular charger is capable of fully charging EVs in less than 15 minutes, or more than 62 miles of range in less than three minutes. NC 360 is the only charger designed explicitly to simultaneously charge up to four vehicles. Read More

Charging sessions with DC Fast Chargers usually have a time limit. That's because they stop charging at a faster rate when the car hits around 80%. If you charge up to 100%, the charge will be as slow as Level 2 charging but cost the same as DC Fast. Read More

Charging time (hours) = battery energy added (kWh) ÷ charger power (kW) Read More

Electrify Canada plans to increase its current commitment of 32 stations to an expected more than 100 charging locations and 500 chargers by 2026. The 68 additional planned charging stations will continue Electrify Canada’s focus on providing electric vehicle charging at strategic locations in metro Read More

More Charging Power Creates More HeatThere is a problem, however. Increasing charging power at a constant voltage requires higher current levels to flow through the charging cable. As these higher currents encounter the internal resistance of the cable, some of the power is converted into heat energ Read More
