Yes — a lithium Evee charges fully in about 4–5 hours, while a graphene model takes about 7–8 hours. Lithium models also carry a longer 3-year battery warranty. Here's what that means day to day.
Yes — a lithium Evee charges faster than a graphene one. A full charge takes about 4–5 hours on a lithium model and about 7–8 hours on graphene. Lithium models also come with a longer 3-year battery warranty, so the faster charging is not the only advantage.
Do lithium Evees charge faster?
Yes. The difference is clear:
- Lithium — about 4–5 hours for a full charge.
- Graphene — about 7–8 hours for a full charge.
So a lithium Evee is ready for the road noticeably sooner, which is useful if you ride long distances or need to top up between trips.
Why does lithium charge faster?
It comes down to the battery chemistry. The lithium (LFP) packs Evee uses accept a full charge in fewer hours than graphene packs of a similar size. The result for you is less time plugged in and more flexibility to charge during the day rather than only overnight.
Which Evee models are lithium?
The lithium Evees are the GEN-Z Lithium, GEN-Z Pro, S1 Lithium and S1 Air Lithium, with the SQUBE Lithium on the way. For the full breakdown, see which Evee models have a lithium battery.
Does faster charging actually matter for you?
It depends on your routine:
- If you charge overnight, both types are fully ready by morning.
- If you ride far and need a mid-day top-up, lithium's shorter charge time helps.
- If you share a scooter or have a tight turnaround, faster charging is a real convenience.
For most commuters an overnight charge is enough either way, so weigh charging speed against the higher price of lithium.
Is faster charging the only benefit of lithium?
No. Lithium models also carry a 3-year battery warranty, compared with 18 months on graphene. So you get both quicker charging and longer battery cover, which is part of why lithium sits at a higher price. Compare the two in our graphene or lithium guide.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does a lithium Evee take to charge?
About 4–5 hours for a full charge, versus roughly 7–8 hours for a graphene model.
Why does lithium charge faster than graphene?
The lithium (LFP) battery chemistry accepts a full charge in fewer hours than a comparable graphene pack.
Do lithium Evees have a longer warranty too?
Yes. The lithium battery has a 3-year warranty, compared with 18 months on graphene.
Is an overnight charge enough for graphene?
Yes. At about 7–8 hours, a graphene Evee charges fully overnight and is ready by morning.
