How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car?

2024 Cadillac LYRIQ charging in a garage


There are several different options when it comes to charging your new Cadillac electric vehicle in Morrisville, each with different plugs and ports, but with available, charging adapters you won’t be tied to one charging method. That said, the answer to the question, “How long does it take to charge an electric car?” varies depending on which of these options you choose. Of course, how long your vehicle will take to charge also depends on what type, make, and model of EV you drive.

Different EVs have different battery packs with varying charging times equipped. In short, there’s too much variability to answer this question definitively with a one-size-fits-all answer. Still, we can help you learn more about the three main types of EV charging — domestic charging, rapid domestic charging, and public charging — and how your choice of each will ultimately determine your electric vehicle charging time.
