How it works

Three inputs, zero generic answers

Every number on a car page comes from that vehicle’s own record — pack size, onboard charger, DC peak and verified 10–80% time.

  1. 1

    Pick the exact car

    Year, trim and market change the connector and the onboard charger. Every record is one variant, with its own verified 10–80% time.

  2. 2

    Read the physics

    Usable kWh × battery delta, capped by the AC or DC limit, with a DC taper curve calibrated to the manufacturer-verified 10–80% figure.

  3. 3

    Buy only what fits

    The compatibility engine drops any charger that does not match the port, and never upsells an adapter the car does not need.

Why two cars with the same battery charge differently

A 75 kWh pack tells you how much energy you need — not how fast it goes in. The onboard AC charger sets the home ceiling, and the DC acceptance curve decides how much of the peak a fast charger can actually deliver above 80%.

That is why a 205.0 kWh Chevrolet Silverado EV can finish a 10–80% stop in 35 minutes while a smaller pack with a weaker DC peak takes longer. Compare the real figures on the Lucid Air page.

See a worked example: Tesla Model Y charging time & cost
Usable pack (kWh)
Energy between the current and target state of charge. Gross capacity is never used — the buffer is not yours to charge.
Onboard AC charger (kW)
The hard ceiling for home and destination charging. A 22 kW wallbox cannot push more than 11 kW into an 11 kW car.
DC peak + taper
Peak kW is a headline, not an average. We model the taper so 80–100% is slow and 10–50% is quick, matching the verified 10–80% stopwatch time.

Know the number before you plug in.

32 brands, one physics engine — and a charger shortlist that respects your port.
