One key to making EV adoption to work is fast charging. People that are used to filling up their gas tanks in mere minutes won’t be so easily swayed by the idea of having to sit at a charging station for nearly an hour. While there are certainly EVs on the market that can get people back on the road in less than 20 minutes, some EVs need a bit more time. And when I say “a bit more,” I mean over 20 minutes just to get to 100 miles of range.
In charging testing done by Edmunds, they found the fastest and slowest charging EVs on the market. While Edmunds used metrics like miles per charging hour to mainly measure the speed, it can come off a bit confusing. So we’ll stick with their basic metric here: the time it took to get to 100 miles of range. The EVs here are the slowest charging EVs they tested, in order from least slowest to slowest.
It should also be noted here that Edmunds didn’t exactly say why these EVs took longer to charge. It simply seems that these particular EVs have a worse instance of charging loss than the others.
