There are several different options when it comes to charging your newelectric vehicle in Milledgeville, each with different plugs and ports, but with available, charging adapters you won’t be tied to one charging method. That said, the answer to the question, “How long does it take to charge an electric car?”, varies depending on which of these options you choose. Of course, how long your vehicle will take to charge also depends on what type, make, and model of EV you drive.
Different EVs have different battery packs with varying charging times equipped. In short, there’s too much variability to answer this question definitively with a one-size-fits-all answer. Still, we can help you learn more about the three main types of EV charging — domestic charging, rapid domestic charging, and public charging — and how your choice of each will ultimately determine your electric vehicle charging time.

Your new EV will come with a Level 1 charger. Most drivers keep this in the vehicle as a backup, rather than using it as a sole charging method. Level 1 chargers provide an estimated four miles of range per charging hour.
Level 2 (240V+) chargers must be professionally installed and use can charge your EV much faster than level 1 chargers. Level 2 chargers provide an estimated 24 miles of range per charging hour.
Level 2 public charging stations are more and more common around Macon and Gray, and they provide similar charging speeds to level 2 home chargers. You can often find them at major retailers like Walgreens, Kohl’s, and Whole Foods, as well as at universities, hotels, and parking garages.
Some public chargers offer 150 kW rapid charging, and these can power up your EV faster than any other charging method. However, they’re usually only available along major highways and freeways and cannot be installed at home. Level 3 chargers provide up to 60 to 100 miles of range per twenty minutes of charging.
Do you drive a plug-in hybrid? Your charging times could be much lower. Chances are this type of vehicle will take between 1-4 hours to fully charge. Why? Plug-in hybrid vehicles do not rely solely on electricity as an energy source! Often, they use electric range fully for a small amount of time or under certain speeds, then switch over to gasoline power.
Most home chargers offer 3.7 kW or 7 kW charging. Public stations, on the other hand, offer 22 kW charging, 43-50 kW rapid charging, and 150 kW rapid charging. As a result, for some applicable vehicles, you could foreseeably get a full charge (0-100%) in an hour or so. In other cases, it could take 4 hours, 6 hours, or 11 hours for a full charge.
