What is rapid charging?

Rapid charging is when you charge an electric vehicle at very high power levels (typically above 50 kW). Rapid chargers can provide between 60 and 200 miles of range within 20 to 30 minutes.

Where can I find rapid chargers?

Rapid and ultra-rapid chargers are usually located at petrol stations and motorway services and are typically used for en-route charging.
