High Capacity Batteries and the Future of EVs It’s been some time since EV range was only 50 miles! Now range is over 250 miles in many EVs, the Tesla Model X boasts a range of well over 300 miles, and the newly released GM electric hummer boasts a range of 350 or more miles. Vehicles are becoming more sophisticated with higher battery capacity every day. High capacity EVs are also not getting the full amount of power they can take because, in the past, no chargers were capable of providing it. However, EVs with bigger battery capacity and longer range are rolling off the assembly line every day, and most EV charging stations have not kept up. Level Two chargers are faster, usually charging a vehicle at a rate of anywhere from 10-60 miles per kilowatt hour, depending on the charger.
A Level One charger, which may come with the vehicle at point of purchase, can charge most vehicles overnight, during an 8-14 hour period, at a few miles per hour, but could take more than a day to fully charge from zero.
The average EV driver knows that different levels of chargers charge electric vehicles (EV) at different rates.
