10-80% charging time
The time to fast-charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent; more representative than the peak kW.
The 10-80% charging time is the number of minutes an EV needs at a sufficiently powerful fast charger to go from 10 to 80 percent state of charge. This window is used because it reflects the relevant real-world situation: on a long trip you rarely charge from 0 or to 100 percent, because above about 80 percent the car heavily throttles the power to spare the battery.
The stated time applies under favourable conditions: a pre-conditioned battery at temperature and a charger that delivers enough power. In cold weather, with a cold battery or at a shared charge point the time turns out higher. Two cars with the same DC peak can differ considerably because one holds its power longer: the charging curve counts, not just the peak.
Where the manufacturer states this value we show it as a manufacturer statement on the spec sheet. If it is missing, it reads "n.b." instead of an estimate.
