Positive news regarding battery charge time
One of the main talking points regarding battery electric vehicles is the time it takes to charge them. The number of publicly available fast chargers is increasing across the United States, and these are proving essential for vehicle users who wish to drive long distances. Vehicles equipped with a fast-charging socket can be charged much quicker because fast chargers provide power directly to the battery, without the need for an in-car inverter.
