How long it takes to charge

From 10% to 80%, which is the stop a long drive is planned around: above 80% a DC charger slows sharply, so it is usually quicker to stop again than to wait.

Charging curve

The power the i3S accepts as its battery fills. A car rarely holds its peak for long, which is why a bigger charger is not always a shorter stop.
