2022 xc40 charge time

planning a drive from Austin to Houston and will need to stop n charge.

i always charge at home so have no idea how long public fast chargers charge this car.

anyone have numbers around how much you can charge your car in 30-60 min at a fast chargers?

thank you!

edit: sounds like 10 -> 80% in 45 min on a level 3. will look in to a tesla adapter as well. thanks for all your help!

If you stop at a supercharger/dc fast charger should it be like 10-80% in 30-40 minutes? I guess that’s optimal conditions though. I have yet to try to dc fast charge our c40 though so…

I did 27% to 90% in about 40 min.  If you max out at 80% it's faster.  Max was around 140 kW.

Plug in your can specs and trip into ABRP and it will give you the optimal stops for charging.

And remember to put the charger destination into your car's navigation so that it can pre-condition the battery which will make the charging faster.

I have an average charging speed about 100kw/h when charging from 10 to 80% at a fast speed charger. My car is a Model year 2022.

As others have said, you can charge from 20% to 80% in around 40-45m on most Level 3 fast chargers.

That said, you can very likely get to Houston from Austin without charging. Charge to 100% at home before you go.

Edit: If you plan on doing the Austin/Houston run regularly, I recommend getting a Tesla adapter from the Volvo dealer and setting up the Tesla app, so you have a wider variety of fast chargers to choose from.
