🚗 Charging Time Calculation with 7kW (Approximate)
Battery Capacity Charging Time (~)
40 kWh ~6 hours
60 kWh ~8.5 hours
77 kWh ~11 hours
Note: These times are estimated for a full charge from 0% to 100%. Actual time will vary depending on the charger, vehicle, and ambient conditions.
🧰 Areas of Use
Home wallbox chargers
Office or parking lot charging stations
Mobile charging units (portable chargers)
✅ Advantages
Ideal for home charging (powerful but suitable for home infrastructure).
Because it's single-phase, it doesn't require 3-phase charging.
While not as fast as DC fast charging, it easily charges the battery overnight.
⚠️ Things to Consider
Your electrical infrastructure must be suitable for a 32A load.
It must be used with appropriate grounding and protection fuses.
If long-distance cables are to be used, the cable cross-section should be selected appropriately.
