Here’s a chart detailing EV charging rates in miles added per hour based on common charger amp rates and temperatures in °F. Note that actual values vary depending on the EV model, battery efficiency, and charger type. These are generalized estimates for Level 2 chargers (240V), with an assumption of average EV efficiency at 3.5 miles/kWh:

Charger Amps Power Output (kW) Miles Added Per Hour (70°F) Miles Added Per Hour (50°F) Miles Added Per Hour (30°F) Miles Added Per Hour (10°F)
16 amps 3.8 kW 13 miles/hour 12 miles/hour 10 miles/hour 9 miles/hour
32 amps 7.6 kW 26 miles/hour 24 miles/hour 21 miles/hour 18 miles/hour
40 amps 9.6 kW 33 miles/hour 30 miles/hour 26 miles/hour 23 miles/hour
48 amps 11.5 kW 40 miles/hour 36 miles/hour 32 miles/hour 28 miles/hour

Explanation:

  1. Power Output (kW): Calculated as volts (240V) × amps × 0.85 (efficiency factor for Level 2 chargers).
  2. Temperature Impact: Cold weather reduces battery efficiency due to increased energy use for heating and reduced chemical reaction rates inside the battery. The table includes estimates based on reduced efficiency at lower temperatures
