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

27 Jul 2022 | Abstracted from Jalopnik

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."
