How this works

Input power is the smallest of the vehicle AC limit, charger power and optional property limit. Time = energy added ÷ (input power × efficiency / 100). Temperature, battery management, load sharing and tapering can extend charging time. This is an AC estimate, not a DC rapid-charge curve.

Keep the assumptions in view

Use the usable battery capacity and AC rating from your vehicle documentation. Use electricity prices from your current bill. Estimates do not replace an electrical survey or a supplier quote.
