How quickly can I charge my car at a charging station?

You can calculate this with a simple calculation: divide the capacity of the battery by the capacity of the charging station.

Example:
Suppose your car has a 55 kWh battery and the charging station has a capacity of 11 kW. Then it takes about 5 hours (55 kWh / 11 kW = 5 hours) for a completely empty battery to be fully charged again. Your meter cupboard must therefore have the capacity to charge 11 kW. A 1-phase meter cupboard can usually supply a maximum of 3.7 kW per group. For 11 kW charging you need a 3-phase meter cupboard.

What type of plug does my car have?

A Type 1 plug is also called a Yazaki plug. This connection is used for charging with alternating current (AC), up to a maximum power of 3.7 kW. Type 1 is mainly used on American and Japanese cars before 2014.

Type 2 is more commonly referred to as Mennekes or VDE-AR-E_2623-2-2. In 2014, it was designated as the standard for alternating current (AC) charging of electric vehicles. All new electric cars sold in Europe since then have been equipped with this connector.

How can I charge with 3 phases?

3-phase charging is possible if you have a main connection of at least 3 x 25 Amp. With 3 phase it is possible to charge your car between 11 and 22 kWh. A fully electric car can then be fully charged again within a few hours, depending on the battery pack. No 3 phase in the house? Voltero can help you with the preparations in the meter cupboard.
