High Power HPC CCS2 300kw 400kW DC Fast Charging Station

300kW/400kW High-Power Integrated Ultra-Fast Electric Vehicle Charger

How fast is a 300kW electric vehicle charging station?

But how fast is its actual charging speed? A practical comparison shows the time required for a 300kW charger to charge from 10% to 80% (16 minutes) versus a 150kW charger (22 minutes). The difference is only 6 minutes.

A 300kW charger can charge an electric vehicle from 10% to 80% in just 16-20 minutes. The exact charging time depends on the specific battery model of the vehicle and its maximum charging rate, which is usually lower than the charger's peak capacity and decreases as the battery level increases.

Charging Time and Influencing Factors

Ultra-Fast Charging: A 300kW charger is considered "ultra-fast," providing a large amount of power in a short time, making it ideal for long journeys.

How fast is a 400kW DC fast charging station?

400kW DC fast charging can charge electric vehicles (EVs) very quickly, with compatible models typically reaching 80% charge (SoC) in just 15-20 minutes. The specific charging speed depends on the vehicle's battery capacity, the maximum charging rate, and the charger's ability to dynamically power one or two vehicles simultaneously.

How Fast Charging Works

DC Fast Charging: These chargers bypass the vehicle's AC/DC converter, directly supplying DC power to the battery, resulting in charging speeds far exceeding those of Level 1 or Level 2 chargers.

High Power Output: 300kW and 400kW chargers represent the high-end of current DC fast charging technology, designed to provide high power output to vehicle batteries.

Factors Affecting Charging Speed

Vehicle Charging Capacity: The vehicle battery must be able to handle high power output. Vehicles designed for lower charging power cannot fully utilize 300kW or 400kW chargers, and their charging speed will be limited by the vehicle's maximum charging power.

Battery SoC: Charging speeds are fastest when the battery's SoC is low (e.g., below 15-20%). As the battery capacity increases, the charging speed will slow down to protect the battery from damage.
