Charging time

[Eric]

Hello all.
I'm interested in buying a mg5 for pco use (taxi). I have a really simple question..
How long does it take on a rapid charger to load upto 80%.
Thanks

Any used 2020/21 models for cash sale?

It does depend a lot on starting level of charge along with battery temperature and the capabilities of the DC charger being used - but this link provides an indication of AC and DC charge times

How long is a piece of string ?

How low are you starting from, what's the temperature, are the batteries warm, what speed is the charger........etc etc.

The car can take 80kwh so if you find a 100kwh rapid unit probably 30 minutes

Might have want to have a look at this thread, it doesn't directly answer your question, there's some experience from Taxi drivers, as well as a link to a youtube channel of a taxi driver.

Charging times can vary a lot.

A fully charged car in the morning is a valuable asset as it will do you for 180-240 miles.

If you want to rapid charge quicker, turn on the battery heater especially in the winter

Apparently a warm battery can charge at up to 94 kw!

It really is not as difficult as it looks at first …

Probably best not to post up the answer just yet.

I won't post the answer just yet then. Mainly because I don't know it.

Not to give too much away, I googled it as a shortcut, with the first result, being this : How far apart are the Poles class 12 maths CBSE

It's wildly complicated, and wildly wrong.

(I don't think this answers OP's question)

 

[Dave]

Honestly - it is extremely easy. Look at the numbers.

The answer to the OPs question is….

It’s as long as a piece of string. There are too many parameters that allow a definite figure to be given.

However, on a 50kW charger then allow about 45 mins to an hour. Will depend on LR or SR version as well.

Very, nay, extremely happy
