How long does it take to charge the Subaru Solterra?
Recharging is simple and convenient, with a variety of options, both at home and on the go. When you’re out and about, use rapid public charging points to reach 80% charge† in around 30 minutes with a 150kW fast-charging system. Back at home, you can opt to charge at a cost-effective time through a wall-box to reach 80% charge† in 7-8 hours or simply plug into an available mains socket. Similar to when you plug in your mobile phone, the battery will charge fastest up to 20% and then slow down after 80% to protect its longevity.
†30-minute charging time based on using public charging points with a 150kW DC fast-charging system. Home charging time based on using a 7kW AC charger. Both based on charging from 20-80%. Times will depend on various factors, including temperature, state of the battery, level of charge, state of and capabilities of the charging unit and power supply. Charging times will also be affected once charging passes 80% – charging will slow to protect the battery’s longevity. To preserve the usable capacity of the battery, it is recommended to set a charging target of 80% for everyday use (charge to 100% for longer journeys). Caution! We would advise, prior to using a mains socket that you have the socket checked by an approved electrician to confirm that the socket and associated components can carry the required load. Alternatively, we would recommend you have a dedicated 240V/16 Amp socket installed.
