CUPRA Born 150 kW – 62 kWh
The CUPRA Born is an all-electric car, expected to be released in 2021. It is equipped with a 150 kW electric motor and a 62 kWh battery, which provides a range of up to 350 km (WLTP cycle). The car is based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, which is designed specifically for electric cars. The CUPRA Born is expected to offer fast acceleration and responsive handling, with a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of about 7.3 seconds.
As for charging, the CUPRA Born can charge from 0 to 80 percent in about 35 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger. It also supports AC charging up to 11 kW, which provides a full charge in about 7 hours.
Overall, the CUPRA Born is a promising electric vehicle that offers a good balance of range, performance, and charging capabilities. It is expected to compete with other popular electric cars on the market, such as the Tesla Model 3, Volkswagen ID.4, and Hyundai Kona Electric.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
A public charging station is required to use the highest possible charging rate. The EVSE/charging station’s charging capacity affects how long it takes to fully charge the battery. The table below shows all possible options for fully charging the CUPRA Born 150 kW – 62 kWh.
In Europe, plugging an electric car into an outlet is often as easy as plugging it into a household outlet, but there are differences from country to country. The table below shows the different ways to charge the CUPRA Born 150 kW – 62 kWh, but in some countries some chargers may not be available.
Type 2 ( IEC 62196)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 29h45m | 12 km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 18h30m | 19 km/h |

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
If you want to enjoy driving an electric car, one of the most important features to consider is the number of miles per hour the car can travel while charged. This is called the “range” of the car. All electric cars have a certain range, even if they are 100% charged. This is because they do not have an internal combustion engine to lean on if you need to drive a long distance.
Max. Power: The maximum power provided by the charging point
Avg. Power: The average power provided by the charging point during a session of 10% to 80%.
Time: the time it takes to charge from 10% to 80%
Speed: the average charging rate during the session of 10% to 80%
