Is charging an electric car difficult?
What speeds do electric cars charge at?
Slow (AC, 3kW) - most cars will come with a 3-pin plug cable to charge from a standard domestic wall socket. Fast (AC, 7kW-22kW) - from a domestic wallbox or public charging station, you should get a cable with the car. Rapid (AC, 43kW; DC, 50-350kW; Tesla Supercharger V3, 250kW) - the fast-chargers you’ll find on the motorway and elsewhere, the cable is attached to the charger.
