It’s no secret that it takes longer to recharge an electric car than to fill up a gas tank.

But charge times in some popular models are improving significantly and offer a longer range than a gas tank can take you.

Edmunds and P3 tested popular EV models to see which ones charge the fastest and which charge the slowest.

It combined that data along with information on electric vehicle efficiency, including a car’s range, to see which models will ensure you spend as little time as possible recharging.

Check out which dominated the rankings and which struggled.
