That Meme About the Cost of Charging an Electric Car Is Hilariously Wrong

Steve DaSilva does the math starting with "the general formula for how long it takes an EV to charge its battery: take your battery capacity (in kWh) and divide by your charge speed (in kW)..you’ve got your charge speed in hours. A 200 kWh battery charging at 100 kW? That'll take you two hours to fully charge."

"Long story short, never listen to an Instagram meme, especially where math is involved."
