go-e Charger Gemini 11 kW (2024)

FAQs

Is 11 kW fast charging? ›

11kW EV charging is classified as fast charging, with 11kW EV chargers providing approximately 38-40 miles of range per hour at 11 kilowatts. Overall, an 11kW EV charger charges an electric vehicle at a faster rate compared to a 7kW charger but slower than a 22kW EV charger.

Charging speed for electric cars is measured in kilowatts (kW). Home charging points charge your car at 3.6kW or 7kW giving about 15-30 miles of range per hour of charge (compared to 2.3kW from a 3 pin plug which provides up to 8 miles of range per hour).

The faster charge time of the 22kW charger is due to the higher power output. If you are charging your vehicle with a 22kW charger, it will take approximately 3-4 hours to charge an electric car with a 22kW EV Charger.

11 kW: If you have 3 phase power in your home already and you want the luxury and peace of mind of being able to charge at maximum speed then consider an 11 kW charger, but for the most part it will be more of a want than a need!

Rapid AC chargers provide power at 43 kW (three-phase, 63A) and use the Type 2 charging standard. Rapid AC units are typically able to charge an EV to 80% in 20-40 minutes depending the model's battery capacity and starting state of charge.

Power:11 Kw (15 hp). Current: 21/36.37A. Number of poles: 4. Rpm: 1500(1400).

In general, chargers are defined by the number of kilowatts (kW) they output. Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) received by a standard passenger-sized EV equates to about 4 miles of driving range. The higher the output from the charger, the faster the EV battery will recharge.

Among other things, it depends on the charging power that your charging station provides. Generally speaking, the greater the vehicle's and the charging station's charging power, the faster the charging process. Consequently, a 22 kW wallbox can charge twice as fast as an 11 kW wallbox.

How fast does a 3-pin plug charge an EV? ›

3-pin plug EV chargers use a standard domestic socket to charge your electric car at a maximum of 2.3kW – unfortunately, three-pin charging is the slowest way to charge your EV, taking up to 18 hours for a full charge at 2.3kW compared to a dedicated EV charger that charges three times faster at 7kW.

The fastest way to charge your electric car at home is with a level 2 charging station. It can be installed on the side of your house, in a garage or your private parking lot. Also, it needs to be wired directly into your domestic electricity supply and may require a certified electrician to do so.

To charge your EV at a higher rate, such as 22kW, you will need a three-phase electricity supply on your property. However, as mentioned earlier, since a huge chunk of the residential sector operates on a single-phase supply, most homes are unable to support fast charging of around 22kW.

Exact charging speed is determined by three factors: The capacity of your EV's on-board charger, the charging equipment's power level and the ambient temperature. The length of time to charge up fully at each power level also depends on your EV battery size. Batteries work best when it's not too hot or too cold.

Among other things, it depends on the charging power that your charging station provides. Generally speaking, the greater the vehicle's and the charging station's charging power, the faster the charging process. Consequently, a 22 kW wallbox can charge twice as fast as an 11 kW wallbox.

Level 2 charging stations tend to top out at 12 kW, restoring up to 12 miles per hour charge, about 100 miles every 8 hours. For the average driver, putting on 37 miles per day, this only requires about 3 hours of charging.
