As of today, when examining the 4 biggest challenges faced by the electric car (charging, range, resources, price), it can be said that regarding the last two, automakers do not have much to do. But when it comes to charging and range, the automotive industry is constantly making developments and advances.
Well, not all of them, there is a very clear line that separates the better trams on the market from the less successful ones. This article is a pretty good indication of the reference group to which they belong. The question of range is often one of perception - how many kilometers is enough and each addition is already an additional cost to the car but without practical application to most customers. The question of fast charging, on the other hand, is a much more common need, the one that allows us to take the long and less congested route to the north, leave without fear for a three-day trip based on fast stations along the way, and more.
Whether you're with an electric car right now or just on your way there, you'll have to meet the issue of public charging at one point or another. And then you have to ask yourself one question: How much time do you have to burn for nothing? This article will help you understand which car will help you shorten your time in the position.

Just before the ratings a few words about fast charging stations and fast charging. In general, the world of electric vehicle charging is divided into two parts - home-slow and public-fast. Home charging, AC, in the vast majority of cases is limited to 11 kW. Public charging stations usually have 22 kW AC, which is still considered slow charging.
From here begins what is defined as fast charging. Starting with 50 kW DC stations that once - three years ago, yes? - was considered fast, and for positions of 100 and 120 kW.
From 150 kW, the stations are already defined as ultra-fast, and there are also those with 180 kW. You get a power of 250 kilowatts in Tesla's Superchargers, one of the great brilliance of the manufacturer that identified electric mines very early on the way to realizing its vision.
The next and final stage so far is 360 kilowatt stations, Afcon has already inaugurated one at Mesovim Junction near Tel Aviv and Paz will launch the first 360 kilowatt stations at its gas stations next month.

But connecting to the fast stand is only part of the story, because each cable has two sides and as long as the other side is not connected to a car that also knows how to "drink" everything the station can provide, it won't really take us far - literally.
In other words, connecting a car like Geely Geometric C, which suffers from a low charging rate of 75 kW, to a 120 kW charging station with MG4, for example, capable of "pumping" 135 kW, would be inefficient, because the power of the stand exceeds that which the car can charge in.
Hence, knowing the fast charging capabilities of your electric car is very important. Not all manufacturers refer to it in advertisements and not all of them find it easy to reach this figure, because after all, who wants you to know from this that with their car you will waste a lot of time at charging stations. But it's a question customers must learn to ask.

Another issue to pay attention to is the filling rate. As you will see in the table, charging times are up to 80% and the reason is that when charging an electric car the fastest charging rate is up to that level, and from there on it becomes significantly slower.
The reason: the battery is made up of cells that, during our use of the car, do not discharge their energy evenly. If there's one thing batteries don't like, it's being completely discharged or too high a voltage. While charging, the battery management system tries to distribute the voltage between the cells and compare them. This process, which occurs in the last 20% of charging, is relatively slow. For that matter, think you're a bartender at a crazy party and the bar has a row of whip glasses waiting to defect, the initial pouring you can do with a quick wish, but then in order to fill each glass accurately to the end you already need to slow down (for those aged 18 and under, replace with raspberry juice).
And as a rule, every charge is also affected by external factors such as external temperature, the condition of the vehicle and battery that can change the times or even children snooze the car, which technically do not change the times but make them feel like an eternity. And ultimately, of course and always remember that fast charging is not ideal and is not recommended for regular charging. The ideal charge is AC, at home, at work or at public stations, which will keep the battery going for a long time.

Who's who in the allegations?
We divided the main electric cars in the local market into price groups where we ranked them according to their fast-charging capabilities. Also, a full charge is not a guarantee of the excellence of the car, but as we said in the intro, on second inspection it turns out that quite a few times this is quite a good indication of the quality of the car. Charging times as shown are not necessarily a doctrine from Sinai due to the fact that they are first and foremost an official manufacturer figure, which is always a reason to suspect and is influenced by a variety of factors. In cases where we could not verify charging times due to non-official publication of the figure (Tesla, we are talking about you) we noted this.
