Get the Most From Your EV Battery
Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a niche, they’re becoming the norm worldwide. Under current policies, the global EV fleet (excluding 2 and 3 wheelers) is projected to grow to about 250 million by 2030, according to the IEA. As more people switch to EVs, a key question emerges: how long should you really charge your vehicle so it’s ready when you need it?
In India alone, cumulative EV sales crossed 61 lakh units by the end of FY2025, highlighting how quickly adoption is accelerating (Based on the FY2025 annual EV report by JM K Research). Understanding the right charging methods, speeds, and schedules can help drivers make the most of their EVs while keeping battery health optimal. With more EVs on the road every year, knowing how to charge efficiently is becoming increasingly important for both convenience and long-term battery performance.
5 Tips to Make Charging Your EV Faster
1. Charging Speed Depends on Both Vehicle and Charger
Most EV users assume plugging into a high-power charger automatically speeds up charging, but the truth is more complex. The vehicle’s internal charging system determines the maximum power it can accept, which means your EV only draws what it is designed for.
- The charging time is limited by your EV’s intake capacity, not just the charger output.
- To enable quicker charging, the health and temperature of an EV battery should also be taken care of.
- To protect the battery, avoid charging immediately after it has been heavily used and is hot, or letting it remain at very low charge levels for extended periods.
2. AC Chargers for Different Vehicle Types
EVs have varied charging needs based on their type. Using the wrong AC charger can slow down charging or strain the battery. ChargeEZ offers customized AC chargers for 2-wheelers and 4-wheelers, ensuring safe and predictable charging at homes, offices, and commercial hubs.
- A 1.1 kW charger fully charges a small 2–3 kWh 2-wheeler battery in about 2.5–3 hours.
- A 3.3 kW charger brings a 15–20 kWh compact 4-wheeler from empty to full in roughly 5–6 hours.
- A 7.2 kW charger powers a 30–40 kWh EV in around 4–5 hours, ideal for faster home or workplace charging.
3. DC Fast Chargers for Rapid EV Charging
Long trips or urgent charging calls for DC fast chargers. ChargeEZ’s 30 kW, 60 kW, and 120 kW DC chargers provide high power directly to the battery, drastically reducing waiting time for EVs in public or commercial spaces.
- Most EVs can reach around 80% charge in just 30–60 minutes, making it ideal for highways.
- These chargers can handle many vehicles at once, keeping the charging network smooth and minimizing waiting times.
- These are perfect for fleet vehicles or frequent long-distance travelers who need quick charging for their vehicles.
4. Small Top-Ups for Daily Routines
Many EV owners rarely need a full charge daily, especially for short trips. Doing small top-ups whenever the EV is parked keeps the battery within an optimal range, ensuring readiness without waiting for it to be 100%.
- Mid-power chargers like 3.3 kW or 7.2 kW make it easy for one to top up the battery quickly, whether at home, the office, or a public parking spot.
- Doing regular partial charges helps reduce range anxiety and avoids the need for full 0–100% charging cycles.
5. Match Your Charger to Your Daily Commute
Your driving habits decide the ideal charger setup. Short trips work fine with low-power AC chargers, medium routes benefit from mid-power AC chargers, and long-distance or fleet travel requires DC fast chargers. Choosing wisely saves time and protects your battery.
- City commuters can use 1.1 kW or 3.3 kW chargers for steady, efficient daily charging.
- For mixed city and highway driving, using a 7.2 kW charger lets one top up faster without putting extra strain on the battery.
- Frequent long-distance trips or commercial fleets benefit most from ChargeEZ DC fast chargers, ensuring vehicles stay ready for use.
