10 Electric Vehicles With the Fastest Charging Times
Some EVs can charge up to 80% in just 5 minutes, faster than filling a tank with fuel.
Tesla models aren't the fastest but still add lots of range in 15 minutes using Superchargers.
There's a choice of SUVs, hatchbacks, and performance cars with impressive driving range and 18–20 minutes charging times.
One of the biggest problems with ownership is long charging times. Few people want to sit around for an hour or more to be able to drive their car. However, a global push and huge investment in EVs has forced improvements in battery technology and charging speeds. Now, many can charge up to 80% in 25 minutes or less. These ten electric cars prove that owning one doesn't need to be an inconvenience. In fact, one charges faster than filling a tank with fuel.
Surprisingly, Tesla didn't make the cut this time. Despite an impressive Supercharger network and recent updates to the Model 3 and Model Y, both still take around 27 minutes. That said, a lot of range is added in 15 minutes using a Supercharger, so don't discount them entirely.
In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites. Please note that we have ranked the following models based on charging time from 10-80%, from slowest to fastest. Where 10-80% charging times were not available, we consulted the Electric Vehicle Database.
This fully-electric hypercar has 1,914 horsepower and reaches 60 mph from a standstill in an eye-watering 1.74 seconds. More impressively, it recharges to 80% in 25 minutes. If all that power wasn't enough, there's a hardcore Nevera R with over 2,107 hp and the same recharge time. We should note this time is from 0-80%, whereas the other cars on this list are from a 10% charge. So, technically, this time would be slightly shorter.
The Macan Electric is the latest EV from Porsche, following the Taycan. It shares Volkswagen Group's new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture with the Audi Q6 e-tron models from Audi. However, the Macan charges quicker than the Audi's, and squeezes more driving range. Every Macan Electric takes 21 minutes to charge from 10%-80% and gives 315 miles. Only the SQ6 matches this, while the other Q6 models only get 275 miles and need an extra minute.
Kia has come a long way from its humble beginnings as an affordable, reliable manufacturer. While maintaining great value and excellent reliability ratings, Kia EVs now compete with top players. The EV9 is a budget Range Rover that's perfect for family road trips. The EV9 Light RWD travels up to 230 miles on a single charge, then recharges from 10%-80% in 20 minutes, allowing just enough time for a rest stop. Higher trims can go much further when plugged in for another few minutes.
Lotus is a British sports car manufacturer which was bought by Geely in 2017. Since then, we've seen a focus on EVs, with the Lotus Evija hypercar, Emeya sedan, and the Eletre SUV. Thankfully, performance remains at the heart of the Eletre. Available with 603 bhp and 373 miles of range, or 905 bhp and up to 310 miles of range, this electric performance SUV charges up to 80% in 20 minutes.
Another entry from the Hyundai family is the Genesis Electrified GV70. A model refresh last month treated the GV70 to a 27-inch panoramic display, AI-powered auto-terrain selection, and, most importantly, an upgraded 84 kWh battery. Now capable of up to 298 miles on a single charge, the advanced 800-volt architecture can charge from 10%-80% in 19 minutes. That's a minute slower than the previous generation, but it delivers a range boost of 15 miles.
These performance-orientated EVs are as fun, if not more, than internal combustion engines — especially the Ioniq 5 N. This hot hatch behaves as it should, mimicking gear shifts and engine noises, adding to the experience. The Kia EV6 GT feels slightly different due to its longer dimensions, but it's still ridiculously fun and has a drift mode. Both share the same battery, which only takes 18 minutes to charge.
Hyundai is dominating the EV market with another two fast-charging models. At first glance, the Genesis GV60 and Hyundai Ioniq 6 appear to have nothing in common, but they're built on the same dedicated platform. Although the Ioniq 6 gets considerably more range at almost 400 miles, and has low long-term maintenance costs, both charge up to 80% in 18 minutes.
Similar to the Eletre, the Lotus Emeya offers outputs of 603 or 905 bhp. This four-door GT hypercar uses a smaller battery than its SUV sibling, making its official charging time 18 minutes. However, a charging index study by P3 Group recorded an incredibly fast 14 minutes under real-world conditions. Though impressive and faster than most, it's still much slower than the fastest on this list.
Another premium performance duo capable of recharging their batteries in 18 minutes are the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It's Audi who edges ahead in terms of driving range, but the e-tron GT has fewer options and a bigger price tag. Porsche offers various body styles, outputs, and battery sizes, though only models with the 105 kWh battery achieve this charging time.
While the BYD Han L isn't for sale outside of China yet, it earns the title of the fastest-charging EV, adding 1.2 miles of range every second. The new flash-charging battery works with Megawatt chargers to reach 10%-80% charge in five minutes — that's quicker than filling a tank with fuel. BYD confirmed the European expansion of the 1000v charging stations, so hopefully we'll see this revolutionary technology across the globe, making EV ownership more appealing and convenient.

Acura Launches Killer Integra Lease Deal for June
As prices for new cars continue to rise year over year, it's harder to find lease deals that are worth considering, especially when it comes to luxury cars. These high-priced sedans and SUVs carry lofty price tags, which lead to higher lease payments and down payments. However, if you're willing to forgo the panache that comes with German badges, then we suggest checking out more affordable options from Japanese automakers like Acura. One particular lease deal that Acura has going on for the month of June is on the entry-level Integra. The current nationwide lease deal is for $369 per month for 48 months, with $3,799 due at signing. The offer includes a mileage limit of 10,000 miles per year. If you currently own a 2015 or newer Acura or a competitor from rival brands, you can get a sweeter deal of $359 a month for 48 months, with $2,999 due at signing. The rival brands include Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Genesis, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo. The Integra is Acura's latest entry in the compact car segment and the most affordable car in the automaker's lineup. It competes well within the segment with rivals like the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series, and Lexus IS, but it brings its own take on luxury by adding a healthy dose of performance. Under its hood is a 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that can be connected to either a CVT or a six-speed manual transmission. There are no major changes for the 2025 model year. Shopping for the Acura Integra is easy, as there are only three different trim levels to choose from: Base, A-Spec, and A-Spec Technology. The lease deal in question is for the base Integra with a CVT and a $34,195 MSRP, which includes the destination charge, but the taxes, title, license, and doc fees are extra and will vary depending on your region. If you would rather minimize your upfront costs when leasing a 2025 Acura Integra, we have estimated the payment with $0 down. By dividing the $3,799 due at signing over the 48-month term (approximately $79.15), the estimated payment equates to around $448 every month. *This $0 down figure is an estimation. Official $0 down lease offers from Acura may differ based on their specific calculations, credit approval, and potential money factor adjustments. Always obtain an official quote directly from Acura. Lease offers can vary based on location and specific vehicle configuration (trim level, options, etc.) and are subject to credit approval. The advertised payments typically exclude taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees.

Why PayPal Stock Is a Screaming Buy for the Second Half of 2025
PayPal stock (PYPL) has had a bumpy ride since 2020. The stock more than doubled in 2020 and continued its good run in the first half of 2021. However, PYPL ended that year in the red, meeting the same fate for the next two years. 2024 was a welcome break for PayPal investors as the 'law of averages' finally caught up with the stock, and it gained a respectable 39%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) after three consecutive years of underperformance. Cut to 2025, and PYPL stock has already lost nearly 20% and is yet again massively underperforming the broader market, which has recovered from its April lows. I see the recent fall in PayPal stock as a good buying opportunity, as we'll explore in this article. Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 30 The 'Golden Era' for Tesla Starts June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock First? This Options Tool Can Show You How to Trade Tesla Stock Ahead of Robotaxi Day Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. PayPal started the year on a strong note but fell sharply after its Q4 2024 earnings. While the company posted better-than-expected revenues and profits for the quarter, and its guidance came in ahead of estimates, slowing growth at Braintree, its subsidiary focused on card processing, dampened sentiment. The tariff chaos did not help, as fintech companies, including Affirm (AFRM) and PayPal, slumped in April amid concerns that tariffs could lead to a recession, hurting their business. Both these stocks have not yet recovered to their 2025 highs, even as tariff worries have greatly (if not fully) subsided. While these are short-term headwinds, PayPal is facing some structural challenges in the form of higher competition across nearly all its business verticals. For instance, its branded checkout is facing intense competition from Apple Pay (AAPL) and Google Pay (GOOG), while the non-branded business faces competition from companies like Stripe. The P2P business is also facing competition from Zelle and Cash App (XYZ). The competition has negatively impacted PayPal's topline, which is now growing in single digits. With rising competition, digital payment companies have been feeling pressure on their take rate (the fees they charge for processing the transaction), and PayPal's operating margins have fallen. While I find corporate turnarounds a cliché, PayPal is a legit turnaround story under the new CEO, Alex Chriss, who is working on profitable growth. The strategy has shown results, and the company has had five consecutive quarters of profitable growth. PayPal has also made a foray into digital advertising, capitalizing on the vast consumer data that it possesses. The company is also using artificial intelligence to personalize experiences for customers. PayPal is transforming into a 'commerce company' from a mere payment company, and aspires to be a bridge connecting its over 400 million users to the merchants on the platform. During the Investor Day earlier this year, Chriss said that the pivot could help PayPal deliver annual adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of over 20% in the future. The investing thesis for PayPal is three part. The first is the turnaround and transformation, which is a work in progress The initial stages of this turnaround have been promising. The second is, of course, valuation, as PayPal's current forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple of 13.5x is well below the S&P 500 Index. Also, despite the slowdown, the company's bottom line is still growing, and the P/E-to-growth multiple of 1.13x looks quite attractive. Finally, PayPal is a free cash flow powerhouse despite all the challenges, and expects to generate between $6 billion-$7 billion of free cash in 2025. The company has been using the bulk of this cash flow to repurchase its shares and intends to spend $6 billion on buybacks this year. Given PayPal's current market cap of just over $66 billion, the buybacks will theoretically help boost its EPS by high single digits. PayPal's cash engine is not expected to slow down anytime soon, and it intends to use between 70%-80% of its free cash flows toward repurchases over the medium term, which should help propel its EPS growth in low-teens, if not higher. The company's balance sheet is also quite formidable, and it holds more cash and investments than the debt it owes. Overall, I find PayPal stock a no-brainer at these levels and am adding to my existing position in the company. While it is no longer the kind of growth story it was a few years back, there is a lot of comfort in these valuations, and the turnaround can help lead to a re-rating. Sell-side analysts also see decent upside in PYPL stock, and its mean target price of $80.50 is 17.4% higher than the June 18 closing price. The overall Street sentiment is mixed, though, and of the 44 analysts covering the stock, 16 have a 'Strong Buy' rating while three rate PYPL as a 'Moderate Buy.' 21 analysts rate PayPal as a 'Hold' while the remaining four rate it as a 'Strong Sell.' On the date of publication, Mohit Oberoi had a position in: PYPL, AFRM, GOOG, AAPL. All information and data in this article is solely for informational purposes.
