The Honda e can charge at various speeds depending on the type and power of the charging station, ranging from as little as 30 minutes for rapid charging to 5 hours for fast AC charging.
Honda e Charging Speeds Explained
The charging speed of your Honda e largely depends on the power output of the charger you use. Different charging methods offer varying convenience and time efficiencies.
Here’s a breakdown of how fast a Honda e can charge:
| Charging Type | Power Output | Approximate Time to Charge |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid | 100 kW | 30 minutes |
| Rapid | 50 kW | 30 minutes |
| Fast | 22 kW | 5 hours |
Understanding Charging Types
- Rapid Charging (DC): These are the fastest public chargers available, typically found at service stations or dedicated EV charging hubs. The Honda e can utilize rapid chargers delivering 50 kW or even 100 kW, allowing for a quick boost in approximately 30 minutes. While 100 kW is a higher power, the charging time for the Honda e is listed as 30 minutes for both 50 kW and 100 kW rapid chargers, indicating the vehicle's optimal charging curve or a standard charging duration to a significant battery percentage (e.g., 80%).
- Fast Charging (AC): Often found at public destinations, workplaces, or homes with a dedicated wallbox, fast chargers provide a balance between speed and accessibility. A 22 kW fast charger will take around 5 hours to fully charge the Honda e. This is ideal for longer stops or overnight charging.
For more details on charging the Honda e, you can refer to EV charging guides available online, such as the one provided by Vorsprung.
