Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to charge a 43 kWh EV battery at 300 kW?

Charging a 43 kWh electric vehicle battery from 10% to 80% on a 300 kW (800V Hypercharger DC) takes approximately 7 min (or 12 min for a full 0% to 100% charge including charger efficiency and BMS tapering).

What breaker size is required for a 300 kW EV charger?

At 400V (3-Phase), a 300 kW charger draws 433.0A continuously, requiring a 600A breaker under US NEC 625.41 (125% continuous load rule) or a 450A breaker under European IEC/NEK standards.
