Most people want to know, “How long will it take to recharge my battery on a trip?” Here again, the answer is, “It depends.” DC fast chargers are rated in terms of kilowatts — the amount of electrical power they can deliver. The lowest is about 25 kW, but those are antiques today. At the present time, 100 kW is common, although there are still some 50 kW chargers around. Newer chargers can deliver 200 kW of power and 350 kW is becoming more common.
When considering an electric car, the questions you want to ask the dealer are, “What is the maximum charging power this car can handle?” The truth is, when you are out on the highway, charging times can vary considerably depending on what car you drive, what charger you are using, how many other cars are using nearby chargers at the same time, and how much you want to charge your battery before you get back on the road., the base Nissan LEAF can only accept 50 kW of power.
batteries. These so-called iron batteries have some pluses and minuses. They are a little less energy dense than batteries that rely on nickel and cobalt, which means you need more of them. That in turn leads to heavier batteries. The good news is, they are far less likely to catch fire, cost significantly less than conventional batteries, and are more tolerant of being charged to 100% of their capacity.
