Fastest Charging Electric Cars 2022 : As electric vehicles (EVs) become more prominent, companies are working to solve one of the biggest barriers to entry for car buyers: range anxiety. Everyone wants an EV that matches or beats the convenience of an ICE vehicle. For daily driving, recharging at home is a painless way to wake up with a “full tank,” but for longer trips, or for those drivers who lack home charging access, the speed it takes to recharge your car matters a lot. Stopping for an hour or two at a public charger is not as convenient as popping by the gas station and can add a lot of time to a road trip or your weekly errands.

Potential buyers are worried about range and availability of charging infrastructure to support that range. Part of solving this problem is the proliferation of DC fast-charging stations, which provide direct current power to the battery as opposed to having that power converted from a Level 2 alternating current charger. Another issue is having vehicles that can handle the top-level charging rates that fill a battery quickly. There are many Fastest Charging Electric Cars 2022 available today that charge quickly.

It’s important to remember that how fast an EV charges depends on several variables, like whether you’re charging at an AC Level 2 or DC fast charger, the condition of your car’s battery, and how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) your vehicle can charge.

Here are some of the EVs available today that charge quickly.

Charging Etiquette

This list wouldn’t be complete without a word about public charger etiquette. If you’re at a public charging station, you’re likely to see a range of charging speeds available – usually 50 kW – 350 kW. If you’re trying to recharge your Chevy Bolt, using anything above 55 kW will not speed up your charge time, but it may prevent a Ioniq 5 driver from filling up her car as quickly as possible. The takeaway: use the charger most appropriate for your car, whenever possible. Being a good electric citizen makes the community stronger.
