Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (100 kW) ~ 35
At a 150 kW charger ~ 35
At a 50 kW charger ~ 70
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the Alpine A290 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 38,700 (reference date 2026-01-01). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the Alpine A290?

380 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How long does fast-charging the Alpine A290 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 35 minutes on a 100 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the Alpine A290?

52 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the Alpine A290 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 15.6 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the Alpine A290 have?

326 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.
