Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to charge a 45 kWh EV battery at 350 kW?

Charging a 45 kWh electric vehicle battery from 10% to 80% on a 350 kW (IONITY / Electrify America 800V) takes approximately 6 min (or 11 min for a full 0% to 100% charge including charger efficiency and BMS tapering).

What breaker size is required for a 350 kW EV charger?

At 400V (3-Phase), a 350 kW charger draws 505.2A continuously, requiring a 700A breaker under US NEC 625.41 (125% continuous load rule) or a 600A breaker under European IEC/NEK standards.
