How many kW can an electric car charge at? AC charging power by model (2026)
Written by Engin Demirel · Electrical technician, master instructor · 12 years of experience
Short answer: Most fully electric cars sold in Turkey charge at up to 11 kW on AC, at home or at an AC station. Some, such as the small Peugeot, Citroën and Opel models, charge on a single phase at up to 7.4 kW as standard, while many BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche models offer 22 kW as an option. The charging power is set by the car's on-board charger (OBC), not by the wallbox: a 22 kW charger will not charge an 11 kW car any faster.
The table below shows each model's AC charging power, battery size, approximate home charging time from 10 to 100%, and the cost of a full charge at the Turkish home electricity price (TRY 3.24/kWh, September 30, 2026). In other countries, multiply the battery size by 1.1 and by your own tariff.

How to read the table:
- AC charging power: The highest AC power the car accepts with standard equipment. Cars marked "1-phase" charge on one phase even on a three-phase charger. "Option" means the higher power depends on the version or an extra; check the car's equipment list or ask the dealer.
- Time: Approximate time from 10 to 100% at the car's standard AC power, including charging losses. It takes slightly longer in cold weather and above 90%.
- Cost: A full battery with 10% charging loss at the Turkish home tariff. Public charging costs several times more per kWh.
- Data compiled from manufacturer and importer specifications (October 2026). Battery values are for the standard version; long-range versions take longer and cost more.
What decides the charging power?
At home or at an AC station, the charging power is the lowest of three values:
- The car's on-board AC charger (the value in the table).
- The charger's power (3.7, 7.4, 11 or 22 kW).
- The current the electrical supply can carry: up to 7.4 kW on a single-phase supply, 11 or 22 kW on three-phase.
So buying a 22 kW charger for an 11 kW car does not speed up charging; 22 kW only makes sense for cars with the 22 kW option or if you plan to change cars. See 11 kW or 22 kW? for details.
Watch out for single-phase cars
Cars such as the Peugeot E-208 and E-2008, Citroën ë-C3, Opel Corsa Electric and Fiat Grande Panda charge on one phase only as standard, at up to 7.4 kW (32 A). Plugged into a three-phase 11 kW charger, they use only one phase and draw 16 A on it, so the power drops to 3.7 kW. The right choice for a single-phase car is:
- a single-phase 7.4 kW (32 A) charger, or
- a 22 kW (32 A) three-phase charger: the car takes 7.4 kW on one phase, and the charger still suits a three-phase car later.
Versions of these cars with an optional 11 kW three-phase charger also exist; check your registration or order documents.
How long does charging from a socket take?
With a portable charger on a standard household socket, power is about 3.7 kW (in practice often 2.3–3.7 kW). Divide the battery size in the table by 3.7: a 60 kWh battery takes about 15 hours from 10 to 100%. That can be enough if you drive 40–50 km a day; for long daily drives you need a wallbox. On whether a socket can take a continuous load, see charging from a socket in an apartment.
What does a full charge cost?
The cost in the table uses the Turkish home electricity price as of September 30, 2026. The same energy costs about TRY 10.50/kWh at public AC stations and about TRY 15.00/kWh on DC fast chargers; a full 60 kWh battery costs about TRY 214 at home, TRY 693 on public AC and TRY 945 on DC. For cost per 100 km see electric car cost per 100 km, or use the charging cost calculator with your own tariff.

Frequently asked questions
How many kW can an electric car charge at?
Most fully electric cars sold in Turkey charge at up to 11 kW on AC (at home and at AC stations). Some small models charge on one phase at up to 7.4 kW, and many BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche models offer up to 22 kW as an option. DC fast charging is much higher and varies by model.
Why does my car charge at 11 kW on a 22 kW station?
On AC, the car's on-board charger limits the power. If your car supports 11 kW, it charges at 11 kW even on a 22 kW station. Only cars with the 22 kW AC option can use 22 kW.
How many kW does the Togg charge at?
The Togg T10X and T10F charge at 11 kW AC as standard; some long-range T10X versions have a 22 kW AC option. The standard 52.4 kWh battery charges from 10 to 100% in about 5 hours at 11 kW.
How fast can an EV charge on a single-phase supply?
A single-phase supply allows up to 7.4 kW (32 A); a standard household socket gives about 3.7 kW. A car that accepts 11 kW also charges at 7.4 kW on a single-phase supply.
Should I buy an 11 kW charger for a single-phase car?
No. A single-phase car draws 16 A from one phase of a three-phase 11 kW charger and charges at only 3.7 kW. A single-phase 7.4 kW or a 22 kW (32 A) charger is the right choice.
What does a full charge at home cost?
It depends on battery size and tariff. At the Turkish home price of September 30, 2026 (TRY 3.24/kWh), a 60 kWh battery costs about TRY 214. The estimate for each model is in the table above.
