10 to 80

8 Episode Mentions

Too Afraid to Ask

This is a charging-time comparison from a low battery level (10%) to a fairly full one (80%). It’s useful because charging tends to slow down as the battery gets fuller.

Technical Definition

“10 to 80” refers to the time it takes to charge from 10% battery state-of-charge to 80%. This is a common EV metric because charging is usually fastest at lower percentages and slows as the battery fills.
