Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to charge a 65 kWh EV battery at 19.2 kW?

Charging a 65 kWh electric vehicle battery from 10% to 80% on a 19.2 kW (240V 80A Max Level 2 AC) takes approximately 2h 38m (or 3h 51m for a full 0% to 100% charge including charger efficiency and BMS tapering).

What breaker size is required for a 19.2 kW EV charger?

At 240V (1-Phase), a 19.2 kW charger draws 80.0A continuously, requiring a 100A breaker under US NEC 625.41 (125% continuous load rule) or a 80A breaker under European IEC/NEK standards.
