EV Charge Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the EV Charge Time (EVCT) is:

\[ \text{EVCT} = \frac{\text{BC}}{\text{CP}} \]

Where:

\(\text{EVCT}\) is the EV charge time (hours)
\(\text{BC}\) is the battery capacity (kW-h)
\(\text{CP}\) is the charging power (kW)

What is EV Charge Time?

EV Charge Time is the amount of time it takes to charge an electric vehicle's battery from empty to full. It is calculated by dividing the battery capacity (in kilowatt-hours, kW-h) by the charging power (in kilowatts, kW). This metric is essential for electric vehicle owners to plan their charging schedules and understand the efficiency of different charging setups.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Battery Capacity (BC) = 75 kW-h
Charging Power (CP) = 10 kW

Using the formula:

\[ \text{EVCT} = \frac{75}{10} = 7.50 \]

The EV Charge Time (EVCT) is 7.50 hours.
