Charge Time With Level 1 Charger

[EV2016]

Please excuse me if this question has been previously answered but I need to know something quickly so I can address an issue if it exists. I just had the on board charger replaced, for the second time. I did not have access to my normal Level 2 charger so for the first time I used the Level 1 that comes with the car. When I got home I plugged the car in and it said the charge time would be 16 hours and 10 minutes and that the battery was at 38% charge. As I've said, I've never used the charger that came with the car before but from what I remember that seems like a longer than normal charge time. The weather this morning was 19° F and I know that that will definitely effect the amount of charge the battery will hold but does it also drastically reduce the rate of charge. When I got up this morning I used the EVO app to check the status and it said it still had 7 hours and some minutes and was at 72%.

Can anyone tell me what the average charge time is for a battery at the 38% or so level or even the charge time to charge a completely exhausted battery using a Level 1 charger? I just need to make sure that the new on board charger is functioning correctly.

Thank you very much for your help.

I am pretty sure the L1, for a flat battery takes 24-26hrs.

Thats about right for the time. The max output would be 1440 watts, or ~1.4 kWh (based on 120V*12A). Since we have a 27 kWh battery...and the efficiently is several hundred watts less, we are looking at around 1.2 kWh (+/-) per hour, which in turn would put a full charge around a day to charge depending on climate and other conditions.

Wow... I guess I've been spoiled.

Thank you so much for the information. I appreciate everyone who shares their electrical knowledge with others as I have none!

I don't even have an L2 installed yet, so all my charging is done with the included L1. Your charge times are the same as mine.
