How long it takes to fill the battery on the wallbox or quick charger depends on numerous factors. Nobody can charge faster than the power source allows, even at the fastest station.

The limiting factor can also be the car. Simple and inexpensive models only deliver 4.6 kW, the most powerful ones currently have 22 kW. Electric cars can also recover electricity through recuperation - the ADAC has tested how well this works and how much range can be achieved through Recuperation.

Maybe the vehicle, power source and cables don't fit together perfectly. Or maybe the charging speed is always based on the weakest link in the chain, at least all regularly used components should fit together well. If you want to charge your electric car more than a hundred times faster with a quick charger than with a Schuko socket, you should use a DC column.
