Methodology
Charging time is computed as: (Battery kWh × (Target% − Current%) ÷ 100) ÷ Charger kW. Energy required = Battery × Percentage delta. Charger type is classified as Level 1 (≤ 1.8 kW), Level 2 (≤ 19.2 kW), or DC Fast (> 19.2 kW).
Assumptions
- Constant charging rate throughout the session
- No thermal throttling or battery management slowdown
- Nominal charger power output (may vary in real-world conditions)
- DC fast charging may slow significantly above 80% SOC
