Electric vehicle charging With the ever-increasing demand for – and supply of – electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles comes the need for expanding charging solutions. Indeed, the electric-vehicle market place is a fast-paced one, and keeping up can seem a little daunting at times. Allow us to provide you with a primer concerning the various different charger options and how they impact on electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) motoring. There is a plethora of EV and PHEV options for you to browse, and we encourage you to do so.
Different charging solutions Immediately below, you’ll find various charging-time examples (based on a typical crossover vehicle). It’s worth noting, however, that charging times vary depending on the make and model of a car, and its battery size. Therefore, the following is for guidance purposes only.

Hotels and major thoroughfares

Tesla runs two distinct charging networks: Destination and Supercharger. The former can be found at hotels and the latter on major thoroughfares.

Destination connectors typically charge at a rate of 22 kW and so fall within the fast-charging category. One of the benefits of a destination charger is that it is provided as part of the hotel experience; i.e. no additional cost is incurred.

Superchargers live up to their title, offering a power rating of 120 kW or 150 kW.
