Recharge speed decides whether a station is a tool or a chore. A unit that refills in an hour gets used between errands; one that takes eight hours sits empty.

Comparing raw charge times is unfair across different battery sizes, so this ranking converts each vendor charge time into a nominal charging rate in watts. A 2,000 Wh unit that fills in 90 minutes is charging at roughly 1,333 W.

How this is calculated

capacity Wh ÷ (vendor AC charge time in hours) (higher is better)

Derived from vendor-stated times to 100% under ideal conditions. Real charging slows near full, and circuit limits, temperature and battery state all reduce the achieved rate.
