Charging speed is influenced by the charger, your vehicle, battery temperature, state of charge and site conditions. Maximum power is not a guaranteed constant rate.
AC charging
AC chargers supply alternating current and rely on the vehicle’s onboard charger to convert it for the battery. They are common at homes, workplaces, shopping centres and longer-stay destinations.
DC Fast charging
DC chargers supply direct current to the vehicle battery and can provide much higher power. They are typically used during longer journeys or when a faster top-up is needed.
Ultra Fast charging
Ultra Fast is a market label commonly used for higher-power DC charging. A charger may offer a very high maximum output, but your vehicle controls how much power it accepts at any moment.
Why charging slows near a full battery
Most vehicles reduce charging power as the battery becomes fuller to manage temperature and battery health. For road trips, charging to the level needed for the next leg can be more time-efficient than always waiting for 100%.
Choose for the journey
Use slower charging where the vehicle will be parked for longer and faster charging when journey time matters. Confirm pricing because higher speed does not automatically mean better value.
