Toyota C-HR EV charging speed & home charger
Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the Toyota C-HR EV's onboard AC limit (11 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~150 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.
Home charger sizing: the Toyota C-HR EV tops out at 11 kW on AC, so a 48-amp charger on a 60-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 290 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
