On a powerful fast charger the Cupra Born charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 22 minutes, adding roughly 325 km. The last 20 percent charges deliberately slowly, so on a trip it pays to stop at 80.

Range

With a usable battery of 79 kWh and motorway-ish consumption around 170 Wh/km, the Cupra Born realistically covers about 465 km on a charge. At 130 km/h, in the cold or with a roof box the figure drops, so plan for about 80 percent of it on the motorway.

Plugs and charging

The Cupra Born uses CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging and Type 2 for ordinary AC, like virtually every new EV in Europe. So it fits the vast majority of public chargers without adapters.
