Electric car charges slowly: Three factors can limit the flow of electricity. You can charge your electric car more than a hundred times faster with a quick charger than with a Schuko socket.

DC charging stations require thick, partly cooled cables that are permanently attached to the column and are likely to match the power of the power source in most cases. Electric cars can also recover electricity through recuperation - the ADAC has tested how well this works and how much range can be achieved through Recuperation.
