Estimate EV charging time for a chosen battery range
Charge Window calculates battery energy as usable capacity × the change in charge percentage, then divides that energy by the charger power you enter. If you have a fixed number of minutes, it also calculates the ideal battery percentage reachable in that time. These are constant-power estimates, not a promise for a real charging session. Actual power can be lower or taper as the battery fills; charging losses, temperature and vehicle limits are not modeled.
How to use Charge Window
- Enter the usable battery capacity in kWh, your current charge percentage, and a higher target percentage.
- Enter charger power in kW. You can also enter minutes available to compare your stop with the target.
- Select Calculate window to see battery energy, ideal time and, when a time limit is entered, the ideal reachable charge level. Adjust the inputs and recalculate or select Clear.
